Question
A transverse harmonic wave on a string is described by
$\text{y}(\text{x, t})=3.0\sin\big(36\text{t}+0.018\text{x}+\frac{\pi}{4}\big)$
where x and y are in cm and t in s. The positive direction of x is from left to right.
What is the initial phase at the origin?
✓

Answer

$\frac{\pi}{4}$
Explanation:
Given,
$\text{y}(\text{x, t})=3\sin\big(36\text{t}+0.018\text{x}+\frac{\pi}{4}\big)$
Initial phase at the origi $=\frac{\pi}{4}$

A particle is projected in air at an angle $\beta$ to a surface which itself is inclined at an angle $\alpha$ to the horizontal (Fig.).
  1. Find an expression of range on the plane surface (distance on the plane from the point of projection at which particle will hit the surface).
(Hint: This problem can be solved in two different ways:
  1. Point P at which particle hits the plane can be seen as intersection of its trajectory (parobola) and straight line. Remember particle is projected at an angle $(\alpha+\beta)$ w.r.t. horizontal.
  2. We can take x-direction along the plane and y-direction perpendicular to the plane. In that case resolve g (acceleration due to gravity) in two differrent components, $g_x$ along the plane and $g_y$ perpendicular to the plane. Now the problem can be solved as two independent motions in x and y directions respectively with time as a common parameter.)
