In an engine, a piston oscillates with simple harmonic motion so that its position varies according to the following expression, where x is in centimeters and t is in seconds.x=(4.00cm)cos(3t+π/6)(a) At t=0, find the position of the piston.(b) What is its velocity?(c) What is its acceleration?(d) Find the period and amplitude of the motion.



Answer :

A) 3.99 cm, B)-7.99 cm/s, C)-15 cm/s2, D) 4 cm, In an engine, a piston oscillates with simple harmonic motion so that its position varies according to the following expression,

a) At t=0

x=4.00cm)cos(3t+π/6)(a)= 4*0.999 = 3.999 cm

b)Expression for velocity v = dx/dt = -8.00 Sin(3t+π/6)

At t=0 v= -8 Sin(π/6) =  -7.999 cm/s

c) Expression for acceleration a= -16 Cos(3t+ π/6)

At t=0 a= -16 Cos(π/6) = -15.99 cm/ sec2

d) Period = (2 ?)/3

  Amplitude= 4 cm
