Dekhne se hi toh sirf D aa rha hai! :D

Hence, answer D! :)

Acos2at sinbt = A2(cos2at + 1)sinbt = A2cos2at.sinbt + A2sinbt

sin(2at+bt)= sinbtcos2at + sin2atcosbt
sin(bt-2at) = sinbtcos2at - sin2atcosbt

sinbt.cos2at = 12[sin(bt+2at)+sin(bt-2at)]

so f(t) = A4sin(bt+2at) + A4sin(bt-2at) + A2sinbt

3 SHMs!! :)

@Subho Bhaiya.

Sorry Answer Doesn't matches!. (One answer i could clearly figure out but one is not coming) i.e., DON't SEE -> There are two answers)

Q1) ans- 3

Q2) ans A (try using trigo and then if A=B then C≠0)

How does your answer suffice for all values of A.B,C?

2. The most general solution is A+B equals 0 and C can have any value .
U can obtain this by applying defn of shm ie
double derivative of x equals -w squared x where w is freq of shm (here it is 2w)

2) oops.. i shud have got B, D!

B-->

f(t)=Bsin2wt+Bcos2wt = √2Bsin(wt+pi/4)

m sorry . The answer will be

shm for A,B,C except one particular case: A equals B ,and C equals 0.

All oder values of A,B,C represent shm

3) PA=mg

P'(V-Ax)=PV

P'=PVV-Ax

|F|=P'A-PA = (P'-P).A=PAAxV-Ax=mg.AxV-Ax = mg.AxV (approx.)

Vectorially,

F = -mgAV.x
a = -AgV.x

w2 = AgV`

@Asish: If option c was not given I wud have also said A! ;)
