Four simple harmonic vibrations:
$y_1 = 8 \cos(\omega t)$;
$y_2 = 4 \cos(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{2})$;
$y_3 = 2 \cos(\omega t + \pi)$;
$y_4 = 1 \cos(\omega t + \frac{3\pi}{2})$,
are superposed on each other. The resulting amplitude and phase are respectively:

  • A
    $\sqrt{45}$ and $\tan^{-1}(1/2)$
  • B
    $\sqrt{45}$ and $\tan^{-1}(1/3)$
  • C
    $\sqrt{75}$ and $\tan^{-1}(1/2)$
  • D
    $\sqrt{75}$ and $\tan^{-1}(1/3)$
