Answer:

t = 11.36

Explanation:

We want to find t such that ...

17 = 12sin(2πt/24) +15 . . . . H(t) = 17

2/12 = sin(2πt/24) . . . . . . . subtract 17, divide by 12

t = 24/(2π)·arcsin(1/6) . . . . solve for t

t = (12/π)arcsin(1/6) or (12/π)(π -arcsin(1/6))

We want the larger of these values of t, so ...

t = (12/π)(π -0.167448) ≈ 11.36

11.36 hours after Harry wakes up, he will feel like consuming 17 kg of sheep for the second time.
