Chapter 15, Problem 15.5QQ

The ball in Figure 15.13 moves in a circle of radius 0.50 m. At t = 0, the ball is located on the left side of the turntable, exactly opposite its position in Figure 15.13. What are the correct values for the amplitude and phase constant (relative to an x axis to the right) of the simple harmonic motion of the shadow? (a) 0.50 m and 0 (b) 1.00 m and 0 (c) 0.50 m and π (d) 1.00 m and π
