If a particle undergoes simple harmonic motion with displacement:
\(Y=A\sin(\omega t+\phi_0),\)
and at \(t=0\) its displacement is \(Y=\dfrac{A}{2},\) while it is moving in the negative \(x \text-\)direction, what is the initial phase angle \(\phi_0 \text{?}\)
1. \(\dfrac{\pi}{6}\)
2. \(\dfrac{\pi}{3}\)
3. \(\dfrac{5\pi}{6}\)
4. \(\dfrac{2\pi}{3}\)
The time period of a simple pendulum is \(T\). The time taken to complete \(\dfrac{5}{8}\) oscillations starting from the mean position is \(\dfrac{\alpha }{\beta}T\). The value of \(\alpha \) is:
| 1. | \(3\) | 2. | \(6\) |
| 3. | \(7\) | 4. | \(10\) |
| 1. | \(R ~\text{sin} \left(\omega t+\dfrac{\pi}{6}\right) \) | 2. | \(R~ \text{cos} \left(\omega t+\dfrac{\pi}{6}\right) \) |
| 3. | \(R~ \text{sin} \left(\omega t-\dfrac{\pi}{6}\right) \) | 4. | \(R~ \text{cos} \left(\omega t-\dfrac{\pi}{6}\right) \) |
| 1. | \(\dfrac{\pi}{3}~ \text{rad}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{\pi}{6}~ \text{rad}\) |
| 3. | \(\dfrac{\pi}{4} ~\text{rad}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{5\pi}{6}~\text{rad}\) |
