The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of superimposing two mutually perpendicular simple harmonic motions (SHMs) of the same frequency, amplitude, and phase, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the SHMs**: We have two SHMs, one along the x-axis and the other along the y-axis. Let's denote the amplitude of both SHMs as \( A \) and the angular frequency as \( \omega \). 2. **Equations of Motion**: The equations for the two SHMs can be expressed as: - For the x-direction: \( x(t) = A \sin(\omega t) \) - For the y-direction: \( y(t) = A \sin(\omega t) \) 3. **Phase Difference**: Since the problem states that the phase difference is zero (both SHMs are in phase), we can directly use the above equations. 4. **Resultant Motion**: To find the resultant motion, we can express the relationship between \( x \) and \( y \). Since both equations are identical, we can set them equal to each other: \[ x = y \] 5. **Geometric Interpretation**: The equation \( x = y \) represents a straight line that passes through the origin with a slope of 1. This indicates that the resultant motion is along the line \( y = x \). 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the resultant motion is a linear simple harmonic motion along a straight line inclined equally to the axes of the component motions. This corresponds to option B in the question. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **B**: The resultant motion is linear simple harmonic motion along a straight line inclined equally to the axes of the component motions. ---
