The equations of two waves are given by

$y_{1}=5 \sin 2 \pi(x-v t) \,c m\,$

$y_{2}=3 \sin 2 \pi(x-v t+1.5) \,c m$

These waves are simultaneously passing through a string. The amplitude of the resulting wave is.........$cm$

  • $2$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $5.8$
  • D
    $8$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$2$
a
$A_{1}=5 \quad A_{2}=3$

$\Delta \theta=2 \pi(1.5)=3 \pi$

$A_{\text {net }}=\sqrt{A_{1}^{2}+A_{2}^{2}+2 A_{1} A_{2} \cos (3 \pi)}$

$=\left| A _{1}- A _{2}\right|$

$=2 \,cm$

A block of mass $M$ has a circular cut with a frictionless surface as shown. The block rests on the horizontal frictionless surface of a fixed table. Initially the right edge of the block is at $x=0$, in a co-ordinate system fixed to the table. A point mass $m$ is released from rest at the topmost point of the path as shown and it slides down. When the mass loses contact with the block, its position is $\mathrm{x}$ and the velocity is $\mathrm{v}$. At that instant, which of the following options is/are correct?
