14.7 The motion of a particle executing simple harmonic motion is described by the displacement function,
x(t) = A cos ( t + ).
If the initial (t = 0) position of the particle is 1 cm and its initial velocity is cm/s, what are its amplitude and initial phase angle ? The angular frequency of the particle is s–1. If instead of the cosine function, we choose the sine function to describe the SHM : x = B sin ( t + ), 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 = cm/s, Angular frequency, = rad/s
It is given that: x(t) = A cos ( t + )
Then 1 = A cos (
A cos = 1 ….(i)
Velocity, v =
1 = -Asin(
Asin ………(ii)
Squaring and adding equations (i) and (ii), we get
= 1+1
A = cm
= -1
Then = , ,,,
SHM is given as X = Bsin( t + )
Putting the given values in this equation, we get
1 = Bsin( )
Bsin =1…….(iii)
Velocity V =
