Homework Statement A Downy ball which can be modeled as a sealed, spherical shell of diameter d is rotating with constant angular velocity in a clothes washing machine. Assume that the Downy ball is confined circular path that undergoes no rotations in a plane perpendicular to the angular...

The term w*t is no longer present b/c it was a function of time, and at the instance when t =0 or time = 0sec, w * t or (2pi/period) *t became 0. I then solved for A (Amplitude) from the first equation then substituted that into the second eqaution. If I'm not mistaken, isn't that the way to...
