For the simple harmonic motion equation d=8sin(4pi t), what is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position?

Question

jacob902 · Answer

Simple harmonic motion occurs when the acceleration is proportional to ... The maximum displacement of the particle from its resting position is known as the amplitude. ... and in opposition to its displacement x from its equilibrium position. .... This has the same form as simple harmonic motion equation, x''(t) - ω2 x(t), and so ...

8?

anonymous · Answer

the amplitude is 8 but if i read the question correctly "what is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position?" would be half of that, equilibrium meaning zero

anonymous · Answer

Therefore 0 would be my final answer?

anonymous · Answer

no, half of eight is four

isn't

amplitude = maximum displacement from equilibrium

anonymous · Answer

The correct answer was actually 8.
