A function that models a horizontal displacement of a
Answer to Problem 18CT
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A
Explanation:
A swing moves in to and fro motion in a periodic time, thus the function of horizontal displacement should be
A swing takes
Now, find the amplitude of the function by using the following figure.
Here,
Construct
In triangle
By using the sine ratio
Thus, amplitude of the function is
By substituting values of
Thus, the function that models horizontal displacement of swing is
