- The displacement from equilibrium of an oscillating weight suspended by a spring is given by y(t)=3sin(t/4), where y is the displacement in feet and t is the time in seconds. Complete the table Use the table feature of a graphing utility to determine when the displacement is maximum. Use the table feature of the graphing utility to approximate the time t (0 < t < 8) when the weight reaches equilibrium.arrow_forwarda.
