Question: The motion of a piston of a car engine approximates simple harmonic motion. Given that the stroke (twice the amplitude) is 0.100 m, the engine

The motion of a piston of a car engine approximates simple harmonic motion. Given that the stroke (twice the amplitude) is 0.100 m, the engine runs at 2800 r/min, and the piston starts by moving upward from the middle of its stroke, find the equation for the displacement d as a function of t (in min). Sketch two cycles.
