Give noticeable points about the amplitude of resultant waves of two harmonic progressive waves on a stretched string.

The amplitude of a wave,represented by the displacement equation $y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{a}} \sin \omega t \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{b}} \cos \omega t$,will be:

If $y_1 = 5 \text{ mm} \sin(\pi t)$ is the equation of oscillation of source $S_1$ and $y_2 = 5 \text{ mm} \sin(\pi t + \pi/6)$ is that of $S_2$,and it takes $1 \text{ s}$ and $0.5 \text{ s}$ for the transverse waves to reach point $A$ from sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ respectively,then the resulting amplitude at point $A$ is .... $\text{mm}$.
