Answer

$\theta_m = 0.0602~rad$

Work Step by Step

$\theta = \theta_m~cos~(\omega~t+\phi)$ $\frac{d\theta}{dt} = -\theta_m~\omega~sin~(\omega~t+\phi)$ When $t = 0$: $\theta = \theta_m~cos~\phi = 0.040~rad$ $\frac{d\theta}{dt} = -\theta_m~\omega~sin~\phi = -0.200~rad$ We can divide the second equation by the first equation: $-\omega~tan~\phi = -5.00$ $tan~\phi = \frac{5.00}{\omega}$ $\phi = tan^{-1}~\frac{5.00}{\omega}$ $\phi = tan^{-1}~\frac{5.00}{4.44}$ $\phi = 0.84465~rad$ At $t =0$: $\theta = \theta_m~cos~\phi = 0.040~rad$ $\theta_m = \frac{0.040~rad}{cos~\phi}$ $\theta_m = \frac{0.040~rad}{cos~0.84465}$ $\theta_m = 0.0602~rad$
