Cooper Toy Company has designed a new toy that uses a spring that follows a sinusoidal curve after you wind it up and start it. At t = 5 seconds, the end of
the spring is at its highest point, 18 cm above the ground. Four seconds later,
the spring is at its lowest point, which is 6 cm above the ground. Find an
equation that will determine the height of the spring at any time t.
a) Find the height of the spring after 26 seconds.
b) Find the first time the height of the spring reaches 16 cm above the ground.
