14.12 Plot the corresponding reference circle for each of the following simple harmonic motions. Indicate the initial (t =0) position of the particle, the radius of the circle, and the angular speed of the rotating particle. For simplicity, the sense of rotation may be fixed to be anticlockwise in every case: (x is in cm and t is in s).
(a) X = –2 sin (3t + /3)
(b) X = cos ( 6 – t)
(c) X = 3 sin (2 t + /4)
(d) X = 2 cos t

(a) X = -2 sin( 3t + ) = +2cos ( 3t + + = 2 cos (3t + )
when we compare this equation with standard SHM equation
x = Acos ( t + ), then we get
Amplitude A = 2 cm. Phase angle = 150 , angular velocity = 3 rad/s

(b) X= cos ( t) = cos ( )
when we compare this equation with standard SHM equation
x = Acos( t + ), then we get
Amplitude A = 1 cm. Phase angle = - 30 , angular velocity = 1 rad/s

(c) X = 3sin (2 t + ) = -3cos
when we compare this equation w
