a.
What is the amplitude?
a.
Answer to Problem 74E
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The graph below shows the displacement of an object in simple harmonic motion.
What is the amplitude?
Calculation:
The difference between the maximum displacement and minimum displacement of the graph is twice the amplitude of function.
Amplitude is,
Hence the amplitude is
b.
What is the period?
b.
Answer to Problem 74E
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The graph below shows the displacement of an object in simple harmonic motion.
What is the period?
Calculation:
The given function completes one cycle between the times at which the two maximum displacement occur is
Hence the period is
c.
Is the equation of the simple harmonic motion of the form
c.
Answer to Problem 74E
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The graph below shows the displacement of an object in simple harmonic motion.
Is the equation of the simple harmonic motion of the form
Calculation:
As the maximum displacement is
Hence the equation of the simple harmonic motion is of the form
