Question
Harmonic Motion An object weighing pounds is suspended from the ceiling by a steel spring (see figure). The weight is pulled downward (positive direction) from its equilibrium position and released. The resulting motion of the weight is described by the function where is the distance (in feet) and is the time (in seconds). (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function. (b) Describe the behavior of the displacement function for increasing values of time True or False? 8
Solution
The first step in solving 4.6 problem number 87 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Harmonic Motion An object weighing pounds is suspended from the ceiling by a steel spring (see figure). The weight is pulled downward (positive direction) from its equilibrium position and released. The resulting motion of the weight is described by the function where is the distance (in feet) and is the time (in seconds). (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function. (b) Describe the behavior of the displacement function for increasing values of time True or False? 8
From the textbook chapter Graphs of Other Trigonometric Functions you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
