Solving for φ on an oscillation problem
You are hundred percent correct, there were a few typos, it should have been 0.054m and also I did mix up the right hand side of the equation, it should have been vi/xi my apologies! I was running late and trying to get my post down quickly. I have never seen that formula for max velocity. I'm...- indefiniteintegral

Solving for φ on an oscillation problem
position and velocity expressions for the initial conditions 1) x(0)=Acosφ = xi 2) v(0)=-ωAsinφ= vi Dividing 2nd equation by equation results in: -ωAsinφ/Acosφ = xi/vi tanφ = xi/(-ωvi) tanφ = 0.4 And here they (the textbook) got φ = 0.127π, This is where I...- indefiniteintegral
