A buoy floating in the sea is bobbing in simple harmonic motion with amplitude 9in and period 0.2 seconds. Its displacement d from sea level at time t=0 seconds is 0 in, and initially it moves downward. (Note that downward is the negative direction.) Give the equation modeling the displacement d as a function of time t.
