The correct Answer is:
To find the amplitude of the vibrating particle due to the superposition of two simple harmonic motions (SHMs) given by the equations \( y_1 = \sin(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{3}) \) and \( y_2 = \sin(\omega t) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write the Superposition of the Two SHMs:** The total displacement \( y \) due to the superposition of the two SHMs is given by: \[ y = y_1 + y_2 = \sin(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{3}) + \sin(\omega t) \] 2. **Use the Trigonometric Identity for Sine Addition:** We can use the identity for the sum of two sine functions: \[ \sin A + \sin B = 2 \sin\left(\frac{A + B}{2}\right) \cos\left(\frac{A - B}{2}\right) \] Here, let \( A = \omega t + \frac{\pi}{3} \) and \( B = \omega t \). 3. **Calculate \( A + B \) and \( A - B \):** - \( A + B = (\omega t + \frac{\pi}{3}) + \omega t = 2\omega t + \frac{\pi}{3} \) - \( A - B = (\omega t + \frac{\pi}{3}) - \omega t = \frac{\pi}{3} \) 4. **Substitute into the Identity:** Now substituting \( A + B \) and \( A - B \) into the identity: \[ y = 2 \sin\left(\frac{2\omega t + \frac{\pi}{3}}{2}\right) \cos\left(\frac{\frac{\pi}{3}}{2}\right) \] This simplifies to: \[ y = 2 \sin\left(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{6}\right) \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) \] 5. **Calculate \( \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) \):** We know that: \[ \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] 6. **Substitute Back to Find the Amplitude:** Thus, we have: \[ y = 2 \sin\left(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{6}\right) \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] This simplifies to: \[ y = \sqrt{3} \sin\left(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{6}\right) \] 7. **Identify the Amplitude:** The amplitude of the resultant SHM is the coefficient of the sine function, which is: \[ \text{Amplitude} = \sqrt{3} \] ### Final Answer: The amplitude of the vibrating particle due to the superposition of the two SHMs is \( \sqrt{3} \).
