13. A weight is attached to the end of a long spring that is bouncing up and down. As it bounces the distance
from the floor varies sinusoidally with time. You start a stopwatch. When the stopwatch reads 0.3 seconds,
the weight first reaches a high point of 64 centimeters above the floor. The next low point, 42 centimeters
above the floor, occurs at 2.3 seconds
a) Write an equation expressing the distance from the floor in terms of the number of seconds the
stopwatch reads.
b) Predict the distance from the floor when the stopwatch reads 5.3 seconds.
c) Predict the first positive value of time at which the weight is 50 centimeters above the floor.
