Question

my question is in the image.

I am not solving this properly as I get 15.51 m as my answer which is wrong. How do I go about this correctly?

An electron undergoes simple harmonic motion with the acceleration shown below:
a, (1) = -amax sin(wt)
with amax = 365.16 m/s and w = 5.08 rad/s.
What is the amplitude of the electron's position?
(in m)
