2 Questions

Question 1:
Two vibrations, x1 = 3sin (10t + pi/6) and x2 = 2 cos (10t - pi/6) where t is in seconds, are superimposed. Determine the time at which the amplitude of the resultant vibration, x1 + x2, first reaches a value of 2.

Question 2:
The instantaneous current and voltage in an electric circuit are given by

i = I cos 50pi t

v = Vcos (50 pi t + pi/6)

determine an expression for the instantaneous power in the circuit, p = iv, as the sum of two cosines.

If I is 3mA and V is 5 V, calculate the maximum value of p, giving your answer in watts correct to three significant figures, and the first positive value of t at which it occurs.


Solution Summary

The solution is comprised of detailed explanations of superimposition of two vibrations and the resultant vibration. It also explains the calculation of instantaneous power in the circuit.
