8. The power output, P, in Watts of an electric generator varies sinusoidally over the course of a day, with a
period of a day. The output is a minimum of 200 watts at midnight and the maximum output is 800 watts.
Let t be the number of hours since midnight.
What is the average power output? What's the amplitude?
Draw the graph of P against t over two days.
Find a formula for P n terms of t. Is it easier to modify a sine formula, or a cosine formula?
A string on a bass is plucked, and oscillates up and down 55 times per second. The amplitude starts out at 0.7cm, and decreases by 15% per second. Write an equation for the position, P, of the string as a function of time, t. Assume the string starts at its lowest position.
