v(t) \equiv \frac{ds}{dt}; \qquad \int_{s(0)}^{s(t)}ds = \int_0^t v(t) dt
s(t) - s(0) = \int_0^t (40 - \sint) dt = 40t + [cos(t)]_0^t
s(t) = s(0) + 40t + (\cost - 1) = 1 + \cost + 40t

The answer is
s(t)=40t+cos(t)+1

Explanation:

The position function is the intehral of the velocity function

v(t)=40-sin(t)

s(t)=int(40-sin(t))dt=40t+cos(t)+C

Plugging in the initial conditions, s(0)=2

Therefore,

s(0)=40*0+cos(0)+C

2=1+C

C=1

s(t)=40t+cos(t)+1
