question 205

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-A weight attached to a spring is pulled down 7 inches below the equilibrium position. Assuming that the frequency of the system is $\frac { 5 } { \pi }$ cycles per second, determine a trigonometric model that gives the position of the weight at time $t$ second.

• A) \(y = - 7 \cos 5 \mathrm { t }\)
• B) \(y = - 7 \cos 10 t\)
• C) \(y = 7 \cos 10 \mathrm { t }\)
• D) \(\mathrm { y } = 7 \cos 5 \mathrm { t }\)
