Problem

A particle moves in simple harmonic motion according to x=0.20 m  sin⁡(4πt+π/6)x = 0.20\,\text{m}\;\sin(4\pi t + \pi/6), where tt is in seconds and xx is measured from equilibrium. Find the earliest time after t=0t = 0 when the acceleration of the particle is zero and the velocity is directed toward negative xx. Give your answer in seconds to two significant figures.
