   Calculate the maximum acceleration of the buoy.2 marks
2. The cone of a loudspeaker moves backwards and forwards with simple harmonic motion at a frequency of 250 Hz and an amplitude of 0.50 mm. The cone is at its maximum positive displacement at t = 0.
   Calculate the displacement of the cone at t = 0.50 ms.2 marks
3. A particle moves along a straight line with simple harmonic motion. Its displacement x, in metres, from its equilibrium position at time t, in seconds, is given by x = 0.060 cos(8.0πt).
   Determine the amplitude, the frequency and the time period of the motion.3 marks
