A point mass is subjected to two simultaneous sinusoidal displacements in x-direction, $x_1(t)=A \sin \omega t $ and $ x_2(t)=A \sin \left(\omega t+\frac{2 \pi}{3}\right)$. Adding a third sinusoidal displacement $x_3(t)=B \sin (\omega t+\phi)$ brings the mass to a complete rest. The values of $B$ and $\phi$ are
  • A$\sqrt{2} A, \frac{3 \pi}{4}$
  • B$A, \frac{4 \pi}{3}$
  • C$\sqrt{3} A, \frac{5 \pi}{6}$
  • D$A, \frac{\pi}{3}$

    $A$ particle of mass m is constrained to move on $x$ -axis. $A$ force $F$ acts on the particle. $F$ always points toward the position labeled $E$. For example, when the particle is to the left of $E, F$ points to the right. The magnitude of $F$ is a constant $F$ except at point $E$ where it is zero. The system is horizontal. $F$ is the net force acting on the particle. The particle is displaced a distance $A$ towards left from the equilibrium position $E$ and released from rest at $t = 0.$ Find minimum time it will take to reach from $x = - \frac{A}{2}$ to $0$.
