$A$ vibratory motion is represented by $x = 2A \cos \omega t + A \cos \left( \omega t + \frac{\pi}{2} \right) + A \cos ( \omega t + \pi ) + \frac{A}{2} \cos \left( \omega t + \frac{3\pi}{2} \right)$. The resultant amplitude of the motion is

  • A
    $\frac{9A}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{\sqrt{5}A}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{5A}{2}$
  • D
    $2A$

On the superposition of two harmonic oscillations represented by $x_1 = a \sin(\omega t + \phi_1)$ and $x_2 = a \sin(\omega t + \phi_2)$,a resulting oscillation with the same time period and amplitude is obtained. The value of $\phi_1 - \phi_2$ is .... $^o$

Two particles execute simple harmonic motion along the same straight line with the same amplitude and same frequency. The two particles pass one another when moving in opposite directions each time at a distance of $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ times the amplitude from their common mean position. The phase difference between the two particles is (in $^{\circ}$)
