A body hanging from a spring can oscillate in a horizontal plane with angular velocity $\omega$ without friction or damping when it is stretched to a distance and then released. It passes through the equilibrium center with a velocity at time $t=0$. Find the amplitude of the resultant oscillation in terms of parameter $\omega_0, x_0$ and $v_0$.
