- 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_forwardForce The force F (in pounds) on a person’s back when he or she bends over at an angle from an upright position is modeled by F=0.6Wsin+90sin12 where W represents the person’s weight (in pounds). (a) Simplify the model. (b) Use a graphing utility to graph the model, where W=185and090. (c) At what angle is the force maximized? At what angle is the force minimized?arrow_forwardMotion of a Projectile If a projectile (such as a bullet) is fired into the air with an initial velocity v at an angle of elevation (see Figure 10), then the height h of the projectile at time t is given by h=16t2+vtsin Give the equation for h, if v is 600 feet per second and is 45.

- Belts and Pulleys A thin belt of length L surrounds two pulleys of radii R and r, as shown in the figure (1). aShow that the angle in rad where the belt crosses itself satisfies the equation +2cot2=LR+r Hint: Express L in terms of R, r, and by adding up the lengths of the curved and straight parts of the belt. bSuppose that R=2.42ft, r=1.21ft, and L=27.78ft. Find by solving the equation in part a graphically. Express your answer both in radians and in degrees.
