Answer

$s(t)=\frac{1}{3\omega}(1-\cos^{3}(\omega t))$

Work Step by Step

$$s(t)=\int v(t)~dt$$ $$s(t)=\int \sin(\omega t)\cos^{2}(\omega t)~dt$$ $$s(t)=-\frac{\cos^{3}(\omega t)}{3\omega}+C$$ Find $C$: $$s(0)=-\frac{\cos^{3}(\omega \cdot 0)}{3\omega}+C$$ $$s(0)=-\frac{1}{3\omega}+C$$ $$0=-\frac{1}{3\omega}+C$$ $$\frac{1}{3\omega}=C$$ so: $$s(t)=-\frac{\cos^{3}(\omega t)}{3\omega}+\frac{1}{3\omega}$$ $$s(t)=\frac{1}{3\omega}(1-\cos^{3}(\omega t))$$
