    Answer: A = y/cos32

    That is the amplitude A in terms of the displacement y.

    Explanation: Since the displacement in the question In the question is the same in both direction, it is a Simple Harmonic Motion problem. In s. h. m the amplitude of displacement A is related to the displacement itself y by this simple equation

    y = A * cos (theta)

    So, A = y/cos (theta)

    A = y/cos32.

    If the magnitude of the displacement y is given, you just substitute in.
