If `f_(1)(t)=A sin omega t and f_(2)(t)=B cos omegat` represent two functions, then express, then express the combined amplitude.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`f(t)=f_(1)(t)+f_(2)(t)=C sin (omegat+phi)`
where `C=sqrt(A^(2)+B^(2)), phi = tan^(-1)((B)/(A))`
Here .C. is the combined amplitude and `.phi.` the resultant phase.
