JEE Main & Advanced Physics Simple Harmonic Motion Question Bank Superposition of S H M and Resonance

  • question_answer
    A S.H.M. is represented by \[x=5\sqrt{2}(\sin 2\pi t+\cos 2\pi t).\]The amplitude of the S.H.M. is                                                 [MH CET 2004]

    A)            10 cm                                      

    B)            20 cm

    C)            \[5\sqrt{2}\]cm                   

    D)            50 cm

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       \[x=5\sqrt{2}\left( \sin 2\pi \,t+\cos 2\pi \,t \right)\] \[=5\sqrt{2}\sin 2\pi \,t+5\sqrt{2}\cos 2\pi \,t\] \[x=5\sqrt{2}\sin 2\pi t+5\sqrt{2}\sin \,\left( 2\pi \,t+\frac{\pi }{2} \right)\] Phase difference between constituent waves \[\varphi =\frac{\pi }{2}\] \[\therefore \] Resultant amplitude\[A=\sqrt{{{(5\sqrt{2})}^{2}}+{{(5\sqrt{2})}^{2}}}\]=10 cm.
