A buoy oscillates in simple harmonic motion as waves go past. The buoy moves a total of 6.5 feet from its low point to its high point (see figure), and it returns to its high point every 12 seconds. Write an equation that describes the motion of the buoy if its high point is at t = 0, in terms of its height h. High point Equilibrium 6.5 ft Low point
