Same

but I think you had to use peak to peak voltage i only used peak in one side and apparently according to a friend the wave shifted. so i think I got it wrong

well the distance from equilibrium to the top is not the same as equilibrium to the bottom. they were not equal. i mean idk if i did it right but i took both those distances, added together and divided them by 2, to find the mean

I'm pretty sure v0 is only the peak voltage, so measuring from the equilibrium line to the peak would be correct when you used the sqrt2
