Problem

A particle PP , on the top of a spring which is fixed to a table, is initially at its maximum height above the table of 0.5 m. Its minimum height above the table, 0.16 m, occurs 0.3 s later. Find a model of the form h=acos⁡bt+ch = a \cos bt + c for the height, hh m, of PP above the table at time tt seconds.
