Homework Statement
A block, attached to a spring, is set into vertical oscillation with an amplitude of 25.0 cm and a frequency of 5.00 Hz. At t = 0.00 s, the block is 14.0 cm below the equilibrium position and is moving upwards. Assume that the displacement from equilibrium is given by
y = ym cos(ω t + φ ) , with y positive upwards.
Calculate the phase angle, φ.
(a) 5.31 rad
(b) 0.976 rad
(c) 4.12 rad
(d) 2.17 rad
(e) 1.87 rad
the answer is c...
Homework Equations
ive been using the equation that was given to me in the question, using 0.14m as my y, 0.25m as my ym, 0 as my t therefore w isn't needed? and i have a frequency? I am lost...please help lol
i am arriving at (b)...if this helps at all
