Who wants to try it ????

The trajectory of a body with 2 simultaneous,perpendicular oscillations is determined by
x=a sin(pωt)
y=b sin(qωt+φ)
where x and y are projections of body displacement on X and Y axis.
For simpicity let us assume pω=qω=ωo.Then the equation of trajectory will be y2b2+x2a2-2xyabcosφ=sin2φ

which is general eqn of ellipse

But if qω≠pω and p≠q then the graph of trajectory on XY plane is eitehr a closed curve (whose loop number is defined by ratio n=p/q) or an open curve

[At the point where curve represents same trajectory,the velocities along X axis and Y axis become equal to zero simultaneously.The body moving with along hte curve stops exactyl at this moment at a certain point,and then moves backeward]

Q1 if p=2,q=1,φ=0,the what is path of trajectory?
Q2 If φ=π/2,and p/q=1,then what is nature of trajectory ?
Q3 If p=2/3,q=8/9 hten time peiod of oscilation is ?
Q4 If p=q=1 and φ=0,then find the trajectory

Lastly....for all the sirs..
can this question come in JEE ??

actually according to me this sum is more abt using trignometric identities rather than using the concept and it s next to impossible for coming in objective
first sum
x=2asinwtcoswt
y=bsinwt

solving it for coswt u can get ur eq,....

2nd one is a relatively simple sum
x=psinwt
y=pcoswt

x2+y2=p2(sin^2+cos^2)
or
x2+y2=p2
this is the eq of a circle

4)
x=psinwt
y=psinwt
therefore y=x and m=1 and c=0
this is the special case of a st line passing thru the origion....

In Q2
how did u write x=psinωt,y=pcosωt

it should be x=a sinωt,y=b cosωt naa ?

In Q4 too
x=psinwt
y=psinwt ??????
