Forgive me if I am wrong, but it may simply be impossible without knowing the function y(t).
dx = a sin(y(t)) dt
Let us just call the funtion "ƒ" instead of y:
dx = a sin(ƒ(t)) dt
If, for example, there were no sine or factor applied, we could have:
dx = ƒ(t) dt
Which is just a general statement.
So, yes, what is y(t) ?
