Answer:
The phase constant is 7.25 degree
Explanation:
given data
mass = 265 g
frequency = 3.40 Hz
time t = 0 s
x = 6.20 cm
vx = - 35.0 cm/s
solution
as phase constant is express as
y = A cosФ ..............1
here A is amplitude that is = [tex]\sqrt{(\frac{v_x}{\omega })^2+y^2 }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{(\frac{35}{2\times \pi \times y})^2+6.2^2 }[/tex] = 6.25 cm
put value in equation 1
6.20 = 6.25 cosФ
cosФ = 0.992
Ф = 7.25 degree
so the phase constant is 7.25 degree
