The graph shows the x-displacement as a function of time for a particular object undergoing simple harmonic motion. This function can be described by the following formula: x(t) = Acos(ωt+φ) where x and A are measured in meters, t is measured in seconds, ω is measured in 1/s and φ is measured in radians. A=2.90m, T=4.00s, ω=1.57 1/s, f=2.50*10^-1 Hz Determine the phase constant i.e. find the smallest positive value for φ.

The graph shows the x-displacement as a function of time for a particular object undergoing simple harmonic motion. This function can be described by the following formula:
x(t) = Acos(ωt+φ)
where x and are measured in meters, t is measured in seconds, ω is measured in 1/s and φ is measured in radians.

A=2.90m, T=4.00s, ω=1.57 1/s, f=2.50*10^-1 Hz

Determine the phase constant i.e. find the smallest positive value for φ.
