Do you know the formula for displacement. It has a sin or cosine in it and ω (which you have from part bi and t.

X=Acos2pift
=(50*10^-3)[cos(2pi)](1.1)(0.05)
=2.7 mm

The answer is 47mm so would I minus my answer from 50 which would give me 50-2.7= 47.3=47mm
Yes, you have there the displacement from where it was released.
The question wants the displacement from the central position.
