Solution
with time period \[\frac{\pi}{\omega} \]
Given equation:
x = xo sin2 ωt
⇒ \[x = \frac{x_0}{2}(\cos 2\omega t - 1)\]
Now, the amplitude of the particle is xo/2 and the angular frequency of the SHM is 2ω.
Thus, time period of the SHM =

Consider two simple harmonic motion along the x and y-axis having the same frequencies but different amplitudes as x = A sin (ωt + φ) (along x-axis) and y = B sin ωt (along y-axis). Then show that
`"x"^2/"A"^2 + "y"^2/"B"^2 - (2"xy")/"AB" cos φ = sin^2 φ`
and also discuss the special cases when
- φ = 0
- φ = π
- φ = `π/2`

Note: when a particle is subjected to two simple harmonic motions at right angle to each other the particle may move along different paths. Such paths are called Lissajous figures.
