Answer 1

A particle is subjected to two parallel S.H.M.s such that x = 2 sin ωt and y = `2 sin (omega t + pi/3)`. The amplitude of the resultant S.H.M. will be `bbunderline(2 sqrt 3)`.

Explanation:

Given: x = 2 sin⁡ ωt

y = `2 sin (omega t + pi/3)`

For two SHMs of the same frequency, resultant amplitude:

A = `sqrt(A_1^2 + A_2^2 + 2A_1A_2 cos phi)`

Here,

A₁ = A₂ = 2

ϕ = `pi/3`

∴ A = `sqrt(4 + 4 + 8 * 1/2)`

= `sqrt 12`

= `2 sqrt 3`
