Hello, I want to know what the amplitude and the phase shift would be for this question to model the equation
Q. A pendulum is connected to a rope 3 m long, which is connected to a ceiling 4 m high. The angle between its widest swing and vertical hanging position is pi/3. If the pendulum swings out to its widest position in 2 seconds, model the height of the pendulum from the ground using a cosine function, considering vertical to be t = 0.

Would it be 4-3/2=1/2 for the amplitude?
lowest height = 4 - 3 = 1
greatest height = 4 - 3/2 = 5/2
amplitude = (5/2 - 1)/2 = 3/4
greatest height = 4 - 3/2 = 5/2
amplitude = (5/2 - 1)/2 = 3/4
Ok. I want to know how you got the maxiumum height, I knew the minimum height.
Can you please explain how you got the value of 3/2 for the height when the pendulum was at its widest swing?
Steve, can you please explain how you got 3/2 for the height of the pendulum at its widest position
