How to Calculate Maximum Current in an RLC Circuit?

[radicaled]

The problem
The exercise goes like this:
A sinusoidal source v(t) = 40 sin(100t) its applied to a circuit RLC with L=160 mH, C=99 μF and R=68Ω.

Calculate
a) the impedance of the circuit
b) the maximum current

My solution
a)
If v(t) = 40 sin(100t) --> ω=100Hz

Z= \sqrt{R^{2} + \left(Xl-Xc\right)^{2}}

Z = 108,86 Ω

b)
I know that
ic(t)= C\frac{dv}{dt} -> v(t)= \frac{1}{C}\int idt
v(t)=Ri(t)
v(t)= L \frac{di}{dt}

v(t)=Ri(t) + L \frac{di}{dt} + \frac{1}{C}\int idt

Ok, I'm stuck here. I know v(t), R, L and C. But I'm not sure how to get it.

Thanks for you help

Can you use your result from part (a)? [Hint: Is there an AC analog to Ohm's law?]

I guess you could. I'be been thinking this exercise a couple of hours and I miss it. But you can use the sinusoidal variables with the rest?
Z=V/I

You may use Z = V/I to relate the maximum voltage and the maximum current.

But remember that the maximum voltage does not occur at the same instant of time as the maximum current (phase shift). So, you should not try to use Z = V/I to related the current and voltage at the same instant.

Ok, but if I want to calculate the maximum current I'm going to need the v(t)=Ri(t) + L \frac{di}{dt} + \frac{1}{C}\int idt ecuation, and I'm stuck there.
Otherwise, there is any other way to obtain the max current with the data I have?

Yes, As I indicated above. You can use Z = V/I to relate the maximum voltage and current. Thus, solve this equation for I and plug in the values for Z and the maximum voltage.
