I have a homework problem I need help with. I don't want the answer given to me since I know I can answer it with the proper guidance.

How should I approach this problem?
Photo of a printed homework sheet for Physics 315, Oscillations and Waves, with a handwritten working below the problem text, rotated sideways on a notebook page.


Handwritten notes on lined paper for simple harmonic motion: x(t) = A cos(ωt - φ) and its velocity, a diagram of a point moving along an x-axis between x = -A and x = A, and a table of positions with phase values, then the period T = 2π/ω.


This is what I have so far. How should I approach this? Did I start off right?
Thanks in advanced!
 
Please re-upload the images with them oriented correctly. That may help you get an answer.
 
There you go, I have done the orienting part for you! :)

The images you rotated are just the thumbnails, and won't open. I tried to fix things, with no success.

Please start a new thread, and type in the problem statement, using the homework template. You can attach the photo of your work.
