If equation of displacement of aparticle...

If equation of displacement of aparticle is `y = A sinQt + B cosQt` then find the nature of the motion of particle.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`y = AsinQt + BcosQt`
Differentiate with respect to `t , (dy)/(dt) = AQ cos Qt - BQ sinQt`
Again differentiating with respect to `t = (d^(2)y)/(dt^(2)) = Q^(2)A sinQt - Q^(2) B cos Qt`
`(d^(2)y)/(dt^(2)) = - Q^(2) (AsinQt + BcosQt) rArr (d^(2)y)/(dt^(2)) = - Q^(2)y rArr (d^(2)y)/(dt^(2)) + Q^(2)y = 0`
It is a differential equation of linear `S.H.M.` So motion of the particle is simple harmonic
