Question
3. A certain mass is supported by a spring such that it is at rest 1 m above the ground.
The mass is pulled up 0.5 m and released at t= 0, creating a periodic up and down
motion called simple harmonic motion. It takes 1.8 seconds for the mass to return
to its original position each time.
a) Draw a graph to show the height of the mass above the ground as a function of time
for the first 5.4 seconds.
b) Write an equation as a cosine function in the form h = ascos
+c for
your graph in part (a).
c) Use your equation to determine all the time(s) in the first 5 seconds where the
height of the mass above the ground is 0.5 m. Full algebraic solution.
