Question

A particle performing SHM on the y axis according to equation $y=A+B\sin \omega t$, its amplitude is

• A. A
• B. B
• C. A + B
• D. $\sqrt{A^2+B^2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B B

$y=A+Bsin\omega t$

Here the mean position is A and the amplitude is $B$

In a single SHM where there is no superposition the term the coefficient of $sin\omega t$ is generally the amplitude.
