Question 72

The lateral displacement, LLL micrometres, of a high-precision industrial cutting head from its central axis is modelled by the equation

L=Asin⁡(t−15)∘ L = A \sin(t - 15)^\circ L=Asin(t−15)∘

where AAA is a constant and ttt is the time in milliseconds since the start of a cycle.

A sensor detects that the first minimum displacement occurs at the point P(105,−12)P(105, -12)P(105,−12).

a.

State the value of AAA.

[1]
b.

The point QQQ is a maximum displacement point on the graph. Given that QQQ is the third maximum point recorded after point PPP, determine the coordinates of QQQ.
