Figure shows the circular motion of a particle. The radius of the circle, the period, sense of revolution and the initial position are indicated on the figure. The simple harmonic motion of the x-projection of the radius vector of the rotating particle P is:

The angular frequency of the damped oscillator is given by, $\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}-\frac{r^2}{4m^2}}<mspace\; width="1em"></mspace>$where k is the spring constant, m is the mass of the oscillator and r is the damping constant.

Two particles are performing simple harmonic motion in a straight line about the same equilibrium point. The amplitude and time period for both particles are the same and equal to A and T, respectively. At time t = 0 one particle has displacement A while the other one has displacement -A/2 and they are moving towards each other. If they cross each other at time t, then t is:
