I. y(x, t) = 5sin(4x – 20t + 4) II. y(x, t) = 5sin(3x – 12t + 5) III. y(x, t) = 5cos(4x + 24t + 6) IV. y(x, t) = 14cos(2x – 8t + 3) Use this exhibit to answer the following question(s).

A 92.5 kg stunt man stands on a piston that will launch him out of a vertical tube. The piston applies a constant force F to the man’s feet. Starting from rest, the force is applied as the man moves vertically 3.25 m, and while the piston is pushing, the man attains a velocity of 25.5 m/s. What was the man’s apparent weight during this time interval?

A. 9.3 kN B. 18.5 kN C. 19.4 kN D. 10.2 kN
