Chapter 14, Problem 8P

(II) Construct a Table, indicating the position x the mass in Fig. 14–2 at times t = 0, $\frac{1}{4}T$, $\frac{1}{2}T$, $\frac{3}{4}T$, T, and $\frac{5}{4}T$, where Τ is the period of oscillation. On a graph of x vs. t, plot these six points. Now connect these points with a smooth curve. Based on these simple considerations, does your curve resemble that of a cosine or sine wave?
