Using Newmark's sliding block, what are the expected seismic displacements if the slope in Figure 2 is subjected to an idealised sinusoidal earthquake acceleration \( a(t) \) for a total duration of 3 seconds, with acceleration amplitude of \( a_{0}=0.25 \mathrm{~g} \) and period \( T=4 \mathrm{~s} \) ? \( \omega \) is the circular frequency of the earthquake load. \[ a(t)=a_{0} \sin (\omega t) \] Figure 2
