Two simple harmonic motions are represented by the equations $x_{1} = 5 \sin(2 \pi t + \frac{\pi}{4})$ and $x_{2} = 5 \sqrt{2}(\sin 2 \pi t + \cos 2 \pi t)$. The amplitude of the second motion is ....... times the amplitude of the first motion.

Two simple harmonic motions are represented as $y_1 = 10 \sin \omega t$ and $y_2 = 10 \sin \omega t + 5 \cos \omega t$. The ratio of the amplitudes of $y_1$ and $y_2$ is

$A$ point mass is subjected to two simultaneous sinusoidal displacements in $x$-direction,$x_1(t) = A \sin \omega t$ and $x_2(t) = A \sin \left(\omega t + \frac{2 \pi}{3}\right)$. Adding a third sinusoidal displacement $x_3(t) = B \sin (\omega t + \phi)$ brings the mass to a complete rest. The values of $B$ and $\phi$ are

Two particles $p$ and $q$ perform $SHM$ with the same amplitude $a$ and the same frequency $f$ along a straight line. The maximum distance between the two particles is $a\sqrt{2}$. The initial phase difference between the particles is:

View Solution

Consider two SHMs along the same straight line $x_1=A_1 \sin \left(\omega t+\phi_1\right)$ and $x_2=A_2 \sin \left(\omega t+\phi_2\right)$,where $A_1$ and $A_2$ are their amplitudes and $\phi_1$ and $\phi_2$ are their initial phase angles. If $R$ is the resultant amplitude,match the conditions in Column-$I$ with the resultant amplitudes in Column-$II$:
Column-$I$Column-$II$
$A$. $A_1=A_2=A, \delta=0$$I$. $A_1+A_2$
$B$. $A_1 \neq A_2, \delta=0$$II$. $0$
$C$. $A_1=A_2=A, \delta=90^{\circ}$$III$. $2A$
$D$. $A_1=A_2=A, \delta=180^{\circ}$$IV$. $A\sqrt{2}$
