Find an equation that describes the distance of the mass from its rest position as a function of time.
Answer to Problem 70RE
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
As we know that simple harmonic motion is a form of periodic motion in which object oscilate freely about a cantral point. The sine and cosine can be used to describe simple harmonic motion.
The equation,
The object displacement from its equilibrium point at time
Now the equation will be,
Substitute all values in standard equation,
Hence, the equation is ,
