Problem 56

For the simple harmonic motion described by the trigonometric function, find (a) the maximum displacement, (b) the frequency, (c) the value of \(d\) when \(t=5,\) and (d) the least positive value of \(t\) for which \(d=0 .\) Use a graphing utility to verify your results. $$d=\frac{1}{64} \sin 792 \pi t$$

Problem 56

Use the unit circle to verify that the cosine and secant functions are even and that the sine, cosecant, tangent, and cotangent functions are odd.

Problem 57

A ball that is bobbing up and down on the end of a spring has a maximum displacement of 3 inches. Its motion (in ideal conditions) is modeled by \(y=\frac{1}{4} \cos 16 t, t>0,\) where \(y\) is measured in feet and \(t\) is the time in seconds. (a) Graph the function. (b) What is the period of the oscillations? (c) Determine the first time the weight passes the point of equilibrium \((y=0)\).

Problem 63

The circular blade on a saw rotates at 5000 revolutions per minute. (a) Find the angular speed of the blade in radians per minute. (b) The blade has a diameter of \(7 \frac{1}{4}\) inches. Find the linear speed of a blade tip.

Problem 66

A car is moving at a rate of 65 miles per hour, and the diameter of its wheels is 2 feet. (a) Find the number of revolutions per minute the wheels are rotating. (b) Find the angular speed of the wheels in radians per minute.

Problem 67

A computerized spin balance machine rotates a 25 -inch-diameter tire at 480 revolutions per minute. (a) Find the road speed (in miles per hour) at which the tire is being balanced. (b) At what rate should the spin balance machine be set so that the tire is being tested for 55 miles per hour?

Problem 68

The radii of the pedal sprocket, the wheel sprocket, and the wheel of the bicycle in the figure are 4 inches, 2 inches, and 14 inches, respectively. A cyclist is pedaling at a rate of 1 revolution per second. (a) Find the speed of the bicycle in feet per second and miles per hour. (b) Use your result from part (a) to write a function for the distance \(d\) (in miles) a cyclist travels in terms of the number \(n\) of revolutions of the pedal sprocket. (c) Write a function for the distance \(d\) (in miles) a cyclist travels in terms of the time \(t\) (in seconds). Compare this function with the function from part (b).
