The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the three sinusoidal displacements acting on the point mass and determine the values of \( B \) and \( \phi \) such that the mass comes to rest. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Displacements:** The two initial displacements are given as: \[ x_1(t) = A \sin(\omega t) \] \[ x_2(t) = A \sin\left(\omega t + \frac{2\pi}{3}\right) \] 2. **Calculate the Resultant of the First Two Displacements:** To find the resultant of \( x_1(t) \) and \( x_2(t) \), we can use the principle of vector addition. The angle between \( x_1(t) \) and \( x_2(t) \) is \( 120^\circ \) (or \( \frac{2\pi}{3} \) radians). The magnitude of the resultant \( R \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ R = \sqrt{A^2 + A^2 + 2A \cdot A \cdot \cos(120^\circ)} \] Since \( \cos(120^\circ) = -\frac{1}{2} \): \[ R = \sqrt{A^2 + A^2 - A^2} = \sqrt{A^2} = A \] 3. **Determine the Direction of the Resultant:** The resultant vector \( R \) will be at an angle of \( 60^\circ \) (or \( \frac{\pi}{3} \) radians) from \( x_1(t) \) in the direction of \( x_2(t) \). Therefore, the angle corresponding to this resultant can be expressed as: \[ \text{Direction of } R = \frac{\pi}{3} \text{ radians} \] 4. **Introduce the Third Displacement:** The third displacement is given as: \[ x_3(t) = B \sin(\omega t + \phi) \] To bring the mass to rest, \( x_3(t) \) must be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the resultant \( R \). 5. **Set the Magnitude and Direction of \( x_3(t) \):** Since the resultant has a magnitude of \( A \), we set: \[ B = A \] The direction of \( x_3(t) \) must be opposite to \( R \). Therefore, if \( R \) is at \( \frac{\pi}{3} \), then \( x_3(t) \) should be at: \[ \phi = \frac{\pi}{3} + \pi = \frac{4\pi}{3} \] 6. **Final Values:** Thus, we find: \[ B = A \] \[ \phi = \frac{4\pi}{3} \] ### Conclusion: The values of \( B \) and \( \phi \) are: \[ B = A, \quad \phi = \frac{4\pi}{3} \]
