Questions  

Out of the following functions representing motion of a particle which represents SHM :
(i) y= sin ωt-cos ωt
(ii) y= sin3 ωt
(iii) y= 5 cos 3π4-3ωt
(iv) y=1+ωt+ω2t2

a
only (i)
b
only (iv) does not represent SHM
c
only (i) and (iii)
d
only (i) and (ii)

detailed solution

Correct option is C

For (i),  y=sin ωt-cos ωt=212sin ωt-12cos ωt                                 =2sin ωt cos π4- cos ωt sin π4                                 =2sin ωt-π4it is SHM For (ii),  y=sin3 ωt              ∴sin 3 A=3 sin A-4 sin3 A                y=143 sin ωt-sin 3ωt                  =34sin ωt-14sin 3ωtIt is superposition of two SHMs of different frequencies. So it is not SHM.For (iii),        y=5 cos3π4-3ωt
