(a) At t = 0, OP makes an angle of `45^(@) = pi//4` rad with the (positive direction of ) x-axis. After time t, it covers an angle `(2pi)/Tt` in the anticlockwise sense, and makes an angle of `(2pi)/Tt+pi/4` with the x-axis.
The projection of OP on the x-axis at time t is given by,
`x(t)=Acos((2pi)/Tt+pi/4)`
For `T=4s`.
`x(t)=Acos((2pi)/4t+pi/4)`
which is a SHM of amplitude A, period 4 s,
and an initial phase*=`pi/4`.
(b) In this case at t = 0, OP makes an angle of `90^(@)=pi/2` with the x-axis. After a time t, it covers an angle of `(2pi)/Tt` in the clockwise sense and makes an angle of `(pi/2-(2pi)/Tt)` with the x-axis. The projection of OP on the x-axis at time t is given by
`x(t)=Bcos(pi/2-(2pi)/Tt)`
`=Bsin((2pi)/Tt)`
For T = 30 s,
`x(t)=Bsin(pi/15t)`
Writing this as x (t ) = B cos`(pi/15t-pi/2)`, and comparing with Eq. (14.4). We find that this represents a SHM of amplitude B, period 30 s, and an initial phase of `-pi/2`.

Plot the corresponding reference circle for each of the following simple harmonic motions. Indicate the initial (t =0) position of the particle, the radius of the circle, and the angular speed of the rotating particle. For simplicity, the sense of rotation may be fixed to be anticlockwise in every case: (x is in cm and t is in s).

There are some experiment in which the outcomes cannot be identified discretely. For example, an ellipse of eccentricity 2sqrt(2)//3 is inscribed in a circle and a point within the circle is chosen at random. Now, we want to find the probability that this point lies outside the ellipse. Then, the point must lie in the shaded region shown in Figure. Let the radius of the circle be a and length of minor axis of the ellipse be 2b. Given that 1 - (b^(2))/(a^(2)) = (8)/(9) or (b^(2))/(a^(2)) = (1)/(9) Then, the area of circle serves as sample space and area of the shaded region represents the area for favorable cases. Then, required probability is p= ("Area of shaded region")/("Area of circle") =(pia^(2) - piab)/(pia^(2)) = 1 - (b)/(a) = 1 - (1)/(3) = (2)/(3) Now, answer the following questions. Two persons A and B agree to meet at a place between 5 and 6 pm. The first one to arrive waits for 20 min and then leave. If the time of their arrival be independant and at random, then the probability that A and B meet is
