displacement from the t axis is 7cm when t is 0 amplitude is
displacement from the t axis is 7cm when t is 0, amplitude is 7 cm and period is 0.4 seec
Solution
Let the trigonmetric function be y = Asin(bt +c)
amplitude , a = 7cm
period , t =0.4sec
b = 2pi/0.4 = 5pi
y = 7sin(5pi*t +c)
at t=0 ; y =7cm
So, 7 = 7 sin(c)
c = pi/2
So, y = 7sin(5pi*t +pi/2) = 7cos(5pi*t)
Equation : y =7cos(5pi*t)
