Question:

A simple harmonic motion is represented by :
\(y=5(\sin3\pi t+\sqrt3\cos3\pi t)\) cm
The amplitude and time period of the motion are :

Show Hint

Combine into a single sine: \(a\sin\omega t+b\cos\omega t=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\,\sin(\omega t+\phi)\); period \(T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}\).

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

\(y=5\sin3\pi t+5\sqrt3\cos3\pi t=A\sin(3\pi t+\phi)\) with \(A=\sqrt{5^2+(5\sqrt3)^2}=\sqrt{25+75}=10\) cm and \(\tan\phi=\sqrt3\Rightarrow\phi=\frac{\pi}{3}\).
\(\omega=3\pi\) rad/s, so \(T=\frac{2\pi}{3\pi}=\frac23\) s.
Answer: (4) 10 cm, \(\frac{2}{3}\) s
