प्रश्न
Consider a pair of identical pendulums, which oscillate with equal amplitude independently such that when one pendulum is at its extreme position making an angle of 2° to the right with the vertical, the other pendulum makes an angle of 1° to the left of the vertical. What is the phase difference between the pendulums?

उत्तर
Consider the situations shown in the diagram (i) and (ii)
Assuming the two pendulums follow the following functions of their angular displacements
`θ_1 = θ_0 sin(ωt + phi_1)` .......(i)
And `θ_2 = θ_0 sin(ωt + phi_2)` .......(ii)
As it is given amplitude and time period are equal but phases being different.
Now, for the first pendulum at any time t
`θ_1 = + θ_0` .....[Right extreme]
From equation (i), we get
⇒ `θ_0 = θ_0 sin(ωt + phi_1)` or 1 = `sin(θt + phi_1)`
⇒ `sin pi/2 = sin(ωt + phi_1)`
or `(ωt + phi_1) = pi/2` ......(iii)
Similarly, at the same instant t for pendulum second, we have `θ_2 = - θ_0/2` where θ0 = 2° is the angular amplitude of the first pendulum. For the second pendulum, the angular displacement is one degree, therefore `θ_2 = θ_0/2` and a negative sign is taken to show for being left to mean position.
From equation (ii), then `- θ_0/2 = θ_0 sin(ωt + phi_2)`
⇒ `sin(ωt + phi_2) = - 1/2`
⇒ `(ωt + phi_2) = - pi/6 or (7pi)/6`
or `(ωt + phi_2) = - pi/6 or (7pi)/6` ......(iv)
From equations (iv) and (iii), the difference in phases
`(ωt + phi_2) - (ωt + phi_2) = (7pi)/6 - pi/2`
= `(7pi - 3pi)/6`
= `(4pi)/6`
Or `(phi_2 - phi_1) = (4pi)/6 = (2pi)/3` = 120°
