The displacement of a particle varies according to the relation $x = 4(\cos \pi t + \sin \pi t)$. The amplitude of the particle is

Two mutually perpendicular simple harmonic vibrations have the same amplitude,frequency,and phase. When they superimpose,the resultant form of vibration will be:

The displacement $y$ of a particle executing periodic motion is given by $y = 4\cos^2(t/2)\sin(1000t)$. This expression may be considered to be a result of the superposition of $..........$ independent harmonic motions.

$A$ 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

Three simple harmonic motions in the same direction having the same amplitude $a$ and same period are superposed. If each differs in phase from the next by $45^\circ$,then:
