It is desired to model the cyclical behavior of the ambient temperature in the Mexico City. In certain season of the year, maximum temperatures are reported of 22 ºC and minimum of 8 ºC. Maximum temperatures are presented at 4:00 p.m. (4 PM). With this information, obtain: a) The mean temperature and the amplitude of the temperature oscillation. Mention some examples of thermometers and the physical principles of their operation. b) The value of the phase (phase angle). Discuss the physical meaning of this parameter. c) The period, frequency and angular frequency of oscillation. d) The function that represents the temperature in time, using units of the international system.
