Simple hormonic motion

Question

A particle is executing SHM along a straight line and its position at time t is given by x=(4cos2t+3sin2t) cm. Then the particle arrives at its extreme position after a time of 

Moderate
Solution

x=4cos2t+3sin2t=42+32.cos(2ttan1(34))

V=dxdt=5×2sin(2ttan134)cms

When the particle arrives at extreme position, its velocity becomes zero. 

sin(2ttan134)=02ttan134=0t=12tan134  sec
