Two simple harmonic motions are represented by $y_1=5[\sin 2 \pi t+\sqrt{3} \cos 2 \pi t]$ and $y_2=5 \sin \left[2 \pi t+\frac{\pi}{4}\right]$. The ratio of their amplitudes is
  1. $1: 1$
  2. $2: 1$
  3. $1: 3$
  4. $\sqrt{3}: 1$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \text { } \mathrm{y}_1=5[\sin 2 \pi \mathrm{t}+\sqrt{3} \cos 2 \pi \mathrm{t}] \\ & \mathrm{y}_2=5 \sin \left[2 \pi \mathrm{t}+\frac{\pi}{4}\right] \end{aligned}$ $\therefore \quad$ Ratio of amplitudes, $\frac{\mathrm{A}_1}{\mathrm{~A}_2}=\frac{5 \times \sqrt{(1)^2+(\sqrt{3})^2}}{5}=\frac{2}{1}=2: 1$
