Question:
A fly is standing on a boulder which is rolling down a hill. The forward torque the fly exerts on the boulder when it has rolled 'x' meters, in Newton meters is given by
Answer:
y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The general form of the sine function is presented as follows;
y = A·sin[B·(x - C)] + D
Where;
A = The amplitude
C = The horizontal shift
D = The vertical shift above the generic midline of y = 0 = Constant
By comparison with the general equation for torque, we have that the constant D = 0, therefore, the vertical shift = 0, and the midline of the the given function = The midline of the generic sine function which is y = 0.
