- Harmonic Motion The displacement from equilibrium of an oscillating weight suspended by a spring is given by y(t)=12cos6t where y is the displacement in feet and t is the time in seconds. Find the displacement when (a) t = 0, (b) t=14, and (c) t=12.arrow_forwardElectric Current The current in an alternating circuit varies in intensity with time. If I represents the intensity of the current and t represents time, then the relationship between I and t is given by I=20sin(120t) where I is measured in amperes and t is measured in seconds. Find the maximum value of I and the time it takes for I to go through one complete cycle.arrow_forward
