14.7 The motion of a particle executing simple harmonic motion is described by the displacement function,

x(t) = A cos ( ω t + φ ).

If the initial (t = 0) position of the particle is 1 cm and its initial velocity is ω cm/s, what are its amplitude and initial phase angle ? The angular frequency of the particle is π s–1. If instead of the cosine function, we choose the sine function to describe the SHM : x = B sin ( ω t + α ), what are the amplitude and initial phase of the particle with the above initial conditions.

Initially at t =0, Displacement, x = 1 cm

Initial velocity, v = ω cm/s, Angular frequency, ω = π rad/s

It is given that: x(t) = A cos ( ω t + φ )

Then 1 = A cos ( ω*0+φ)

A cos φ = 1 ….(i)

Velocity, v = dxdt

ω=-Aωsin?(ωt+φ)

1 = -Asin( ω*0+φ)=-Asinφ

Asin φ=-1 ………(ii)

Squaring and adding equations (i) and (ii), we get

A2(sin2φ+cos2φ) = 1+1

A2=2

A = 2 cm

tan?φ = -1

Then φ = 3π4 , 7π4 ,,,

SHM is g
