Homework Statement


Write the equation for a particle in simple harmonic motion with amplitude a and angular frequency w considering all distances from one extreme position and time when it is at other extreme end.

Homework Equations



X = A sin (wt + ∆)
∆ = phase difference

The Attempt at a Solution


I couldn't fully understand the question and what we should do to obtain the answer...
Any insight to the question and the steps related to it would be very much appreciated!

You have written the most general expression for the position of the harmonic oscillator. You are asked to write an expression such that distances are measured from an origin at one of the extreme positions and time is measured by a clock that shows zero time when the particle is at the opposite extreme position from the origin.
