Motion of a building A strong gust of wind strikes a tall building, causing it to sway back and forth in damped harmonic motion. The frequency of the oscillation is 0.5 cycle per second, and the damping constant is Find an equation that describes the motion of the building. (Assume that , and take to be the instant when the gust of wind strikes the building.)

shock absorber When a car hits a certain bump on the road, a shock absorber on the car is compressed a distance of 6 in., then released (see the figure). The shock absorber vibrates in damped harmonic motion with a frequency of 2 cycles per second. The damping constant for this particular shock absorber is 2.8.

Find an equation that describes the displacement of the shock absorber from its rest position as a function of time. Take to be the instant that the shock absorber is released.

Simple Harmonic Motion A mass suspended from a spring oscillates in simple harmonic motion at a frequency of 4 cycles per second. The distance from the highest to the lowest point of the oscillation is 100 cm. Find an equation that describes the distance of the mass from its rest position as a function of time. Assume that the mass is at its lowest point when
