A weight attached to a spring is at its lowest point, 9 inches below equilibrium, at time t = 0 seconds. When the weight it released, it oscillates and returns to its original position at t = 3 seconds. Which of the following equations models the distance, d, of the weight from its equilibrium after t seconds?
Answer
A
d = negative 9 cosine (StartFraction pi Over 3 EndFraction t)
B
d = negative 9 cosine (StartFraction 2 pi Over 3 EndFraction t)
C
d = negative 3 cosine (StartFraction pi Over 9 EndFraction t)
D
d = negative 3 cosine (StartFraction 2 pi Over 9 EndFraction t)
