A swimmer on a floating air mattress will follow the rise and fall of the waves in lake. When the person is on the top of the wave her feet are 0.5m above the average surface height of the lake. When she is in a trough her feet dig 0.5m into the water (-0.5m). The peaks of the waves are separated by two seconds. Create an equation of the sinusoidal function that models this movement assuming that she starts at the average surface height of the lake and heads upwards.
A very tall light standard is swaying in an east-west direction in a strong wind. An observer notes that the time difference between the vertical position and the furthest point of sway was 2 seconds. The pole is 40 metres tall. At the furthest point of sway, the tip of the pole is 1° out of the vertical position when measured from the bottom of the pole.  Create a sinusoidal equation that models the motion of the tip of the pole as a displacement from the vertical position as a sinusoidal function of time. Assume time starts when the tip of the pole is furthest east.  Include a sketch of the graph of your equation. (4 marks)
