b (b)$y = 4{\cos ^2}\left( {\frac{t}{2}} \right)\sin 1000\;t$
$ \Rightarrow y = 2(1 + \cos t)\sin 1000\;t$
$ \Rightarrow y = 2\sin 1000\;t + 2\cos t\;\sin 1000t$
$ \Rightarrow y = 2\sin 1000\;t + \sin 999\;t + \sin 1001\;t$
It is a sum of three $S.H.M.$

The motion of a mass on a spring, with spring constant ${K}$ is as shown in figure. The equation of motion is given by $x(t)= A sin \omega t+ Bcos\omega t$ with $\omega=\sqrt{\frac{K}{m}}$ Suppose that at time $t=0$, the position of mass is $x(0)$ and velocity $v(0)$, then its displacement can also be represented as $x(t)=C \cos (\omega t-\phi)$, where $C$ and $\phi$ are
When an oscillator completes $100$ oscillations its amplitude reduced to $\frac{1}{3}$ of initial value. What will be its amplitude, when it completes $200$ oscillations?
A simple pendulum with a bob of mass $‘m’$ oscillates from $A$ to $ C$ and back to $A$ such that $PB$ is $H.$ If the acceleration due to gravity is $‘g’$, then the velocity of the bob as it passes through $B$ is
A simple pendulum oscillating in air has period $T.$ The bob of the pendulum is completely immersed in a non-viscous liquid. The density of the liquid is $\frac {1}{16}$ of the material of the bob. If the bob is inside liquid all the time, its period of oscillation in this liquid is
