Two particles are in $SHM$ in a straight line. Amplitude $A$ and time period $T$ of both the particles are equal. At time $t=0,$ one particle is at displacement $y_1= +A$ and the other at $y_2= -A/2,$ and they are approaching towards each other. After what time they cross each other ?

Angle covered to meet $\theta=60^{\circ}=\frac{\pi}{3} \mathrm{rad}$

If they cross each other at time $t$ then

$\mathrm{t}=\frac{\theta}{2 \pi}=\frac{\pi}{3 \times 2 \pi} \mathrm{T}=\frac{\mathrm{T}}{6}$
