A hanging spring is compressed 3 inches from its rest position and released at t = 0 seconds. It returns to the same position after 0.8 seconds. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Find:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " a) the amplitude of the motion
\n" ); document.write( "3 inches
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "b) the period of the motion
\n" ); document.write( "1.6 seconds
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "c) the frequency of the motion
\n" ); document.write( "1/1.6 = 5/8 Hz
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "d) a function that models the displacement, y, of the end of the spring from the rest position at time, t.
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3cos(16t/(5pi))
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "e) the displacement from the rest position at t= 3 min rounded to the tenths place
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3cos(16t/(5pi))
\n" ); document.write( "y @ 180 seconds = y = 3cos(16*180/(5pi)) = 3cos(576/pi) = 1.26879
\n" ); document.write( "--> 1.3 inches\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
