SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the amplitude of a sinusoid using the formula 2πft, where f represents frequency and t denotes time after zero-crossing. In this case, the values used are f = 12 Hz and t = 0.04 seconds, resulting in a calculation of 3.0144 radians. The sine of 3.01 radians is a crucial step in determining the amplitude, which was successfully resolved by the participants.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of sinusoidal functions
  • Knowledge of the relationship between frequency and time
  • Familiarity with radians and trigonometric functions
  • Basic algebra for manipulating equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn how to calculate the sine of angles using a scientific calculator
  • Study the properties of sinusoidal functions in physics
  • Explore the concept of phase shifts in sinusoidal waves
  • Investigate applications of sinusoidal functions in engineering
USEFUL FOR

Homework Statement
What is the elongation of a sine wave if the amplitude is 12cm and the frequency is 12Hz after 0.04 s after the zero crossing
Relevant Equations
s=smaxsin (2π f t)
2π f t = 6,28  12  0,04 = 3,0144
