Questions  

A particle is superposed with two SHMs simultaneously, in the same  direction.  One has a time period 4 s and the other has a time period 5 s. What is the time  period of the resultant periodic motion?

a
4 s
b
5 s
c
20 s
d
10 s

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Since, individual motions are periodic, by Fourier theorem, resultant motion is  also periodic. LCM of 4 and 5 is 20. So, resultant motion has a time period = 20 s.
