    Harmonic Motion-trig
    Here's the question:

    The motion of a piston is harmonic. Suppose that a piston's length is 8 inches. When it is moving at 4500 rpm (revolutions per minute), the model for its motion will be H=Asin(Bt)

    It wants to know what A and B are

    I found the answer for B to be 28274.33 because B=2pi * T or B=2pi * 4500

    Now I don't know how to find A (amplitude).. is there a formula I'm supposed to use?

    Please help.. its due at midnight.. I know.. short notice.. but I do appreciate any help or advice.

    Thanks
