Harmonic Motion The motion of an oscillating weight suspended by a spring was measured by a motion detector. The data collected and the approximate maximum (positive and negative) displacements from equilibrium are shown in the figure. The displacement is measured in feet and the time is measured in seconds.
(a) Is a function of ? Explain.
(b) Approximate the amplitude and period of the oscillations.
(c) Find a model for the data.
(d) Use a graphing utility to graph the model in part (c). Compare the result with the data in the figure.
