This is the type of diagram I'm talking about:

It's the image the image next to Quest 3T
If x = Asin(wt) surely the x value is the length of the opposite side, not the displacement of the object in SHM?
I understand if x = Acos(wt) but why is it always written x = Asin(wt)?!
sin(wt) doesn't give that length along the horizontal axis?!
