### Understanding a Sinusoidal Wave Plot

#### Question:
The figure given below is a plot of a sinusoidal wave. From the plot, determine values for the amplitude (A), phase (ϕ), and frequency (ω₀) needed in the representation:

\[ x(t) = A \cos (\omega_0 t + \phi) \]

Provide the answer as numerical values, including the units where applicable.

#### Detailed Analysis of the Plot:
**Graph Description:**
- **X-axis (Time \(t\)):** The time is measured in milliseconds (msec) ranging from -20 to 40.
- **Y-axis (\(x(t)\)):** The values range from -20 to 20.
- The plotted wave completes one full cycle from approximately 0 to 20 msec on the time axis.

#### Solution Approach:
1. **Amplitude (A):**
   The amplitude of this wave is the maximum value of \(x(t)\) from the equilibrium position (y=0). The observed amplitude is \(A = 20\).

2. **Frequency (ω₀):**
   Determine the period \(T\) of one complete cycle on the time axis. The wave goes from 0 to 20 msec for one full cycle. Hence, the period \(T = 20\) msec. To find the angular frequency, use the relationship:
   
   \[ \omega_0 = \frac{2\pi}{T} \]

   Substituting \(T = 20\) msec:

   \[ \omega_0 = \frac{2\pi}{20 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{2\pi}{0.02} \approx 314.16 \text{ rad/sec} \]

3. **Phase (ϕ):**
   The phase shift can be determined by finding the horizontal shift of the wave from the standard cosine function. The graph shows the wave crossing the vertical axis (t=0) at the origin and reaching its positive peak value at t= ~2 msec, indicating no significant phase shift from a standard cosine function. Therefore, the phase shift \( \phi = 0 \) radians.

### Conclusion:
Thus, the values are:
- **Amplitude (A):** 20
- **Angular Frequency (ω₀):** 314.16 rad/sec
- **Phase (ϕ):**
