A block whose mass is $1 kg$ is fastened to a spring. The spring has a spring constant of $50 Nm ^{-1}$. The block is pulled to a distance $x=10 cm$ from its equilibrium position at $t=0$ on a frictionless surface from rest at $t=0$. Calculate the kinetic, potential and total energies of the block when it is $5 cm$ away from the mean position.
