Homework Statement
A sewing machine needle moves up and down in simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 1.27cm and a frequency of 2.55Hz. How long does it take to travel 11.43cm?
Homework Equations
x=A*cos(w*t)
w=2\pi*f
w=2\pi/T
T=1/f
The Attempt at a Solution
I can't determine the proper way to solve for t, since that's what the question is asking for. Every time I try to solve for t, the calculator gives me a 'math error' message and won't let me compute.
The answer is 0.878s, but I need to know how to get it.
