Hi. I'm working on a project in which I have to find a daily application which has a cyclical pattern and determine a trigonometric function that can be applied to the situation. I decided to do a wind turbine. I've attached the information I used to determine the equation as well as the equation itself in the following image. The "a" value is the amplitude, the "v" value is the midline, the "b" value is the period, and the "h" value is the phase shift. Time starts from 0 seconds and I am assuming the blade is at its lowest point at that time. However, I think the phase shift may be wrong and I was wondering if someone could confirm whether it's correct or not.
