A particle is subjected to two SHM’s x1 = A1 Sinωt and x2 = A2 Sin(ωt + π/4). The resultant SHM will have an amplitude of
(A1 + A2)/2
A12+A22
A12+A22+2A1A2
A1A2
∅=π4
The resultant SHM will have an amplitude=A=A12+A22+2A1A2cos∅ given phase difference ∅=π4 =A12+A22+2A1A2cosπ4 =A12+A22+2A1A212 resultant amplitude=A12+A22+2A1A2
