A very tall light standard is swaying in an east-west direction in a strong wind. An observer notes that the time difference between the vertical position and the furthest point of sway was 2 seconds. The pole is 40 metres tall. At the furthest point of sway, the tip of the pole is 1° out of the vertical position when measured from the bottom of the pole. Create a sinusoidal equation that models the motion of the tip of the pole as a displacement from the vertical position as a sinusoidal function of time. Assume time starts when the tip of the pole is furthest east. Include a sketch of the graph of your equation. (4 marks)
