question 120

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-A weight attached to a spring is pulled down 9 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 $t$ seconds.

• A) \(s ( t ) = 9 \cos 5 t\)
• B) \(s ( t ) = - 9 \cos 10 t\)
• C) \(s ( t ) = - 9 \cos 5 t\)
• D) \(s ( t ) = 9 \cos 10 t\)
