MOW Tutorial #1

1. Show that the solution of y ' ' + k 2 y =0 can be written in the form ¿ A cos kx + B sin kx ,
where A and b are arbitrary constants. Show also that the solution can be written in
the form y=C cos(kx+ φ). Obtain the same solution with the help of complex
number.
2. A point moves in a circle at a constant speed 50 cm/s. Period of one complete
journey around the circle is 6 sec. At t=0 the line to the point to the center of the
circle makes an angle of 300 with the x axis. Obtain the expression for x(t) in the form
A cos (ωt +ϕ)
3. Express 2 sin ωt+ 3 cos ωt in the form of ℜ( A ei ( ωt+ϕ ) )
4. Find the frequency of the combined motion of the sinusoidal oscillations
sin ( 2 πt− √ 2 ) +cos (2 πt)
