Chapter 12, Problem 14P

In an engine, a piston oscillates with simple harmonic motion so that its position varies according to the expression

x = 5.00 cos ( 2 t + π 6 )

where x is in centimeters and t is in seconds. At t = 0, find (a) the position of the piston, (b) its velocity, and (c) its acceleration. Find (d) the period and (e) the amplitude of the motion.

The motion of a body is described by the equation y = 2.70 sin(0.160πt), where t is in seconds and y is in meters. (a) Find the amplitude.(b) Find the angular frequency.(c) Find the period.
A spring is hanging down from the ceiling, and an object of mass m is attached to the free end. The object is pulled down, thereby stretching the spring, and then released. The object oscillates up and down, and the time T required for one complete up-and-down oscillation is given by the equation T = 2л√m/k, wherek is known as the spring constant. What must be the dimension of k for this equation to be dimensionally correct? O [T] O [M] O [M]/[T] O [T]/[M] O [M]/[T]² O [T]²/[M]
use the model for the period of a pendulum, T, such that T=2pi square root of L/g, where the length ofpendulum is L and the acceleration due to gravity is g. if the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s^2 and the period equals 3s, find the length to the nearest cm. (100 cm= 1m)
