Question

A particle is subjected to two simple harmonic motions given by x1 = 2.0 sin (100π t) and x2 = 2.0 sin (120 π t + π/3), where x is in centimeter and t in second. Find the displacement of the particle at (a) t = 0.0125, (b) t = 0.025.

Solution

Given are the equations of motion of a particle:
x1 = 2.0sin100πt
x2=2.0sin120πt+π3

The resultant displacement x will be,
x = x1 + x2
=2sin100πt+sin120πt+π3

(a) At t = 0.0125 s
x=2sin100π ×0.0125+sin120π ×0.0125+π3 =2sin 5π4+sin 3π2+π3 =2-0.707+-0.5 =2×-1.207=-2.41 cm

(b) At t = 0.025 s
x=2sin100 π×0.025+sin120π×0.025+π3 =2sin10π4+sin3π+π3 =21+-0.866 =2×0.134=0.27 cm
