Question
Two simple harmonic motions are represented by the following equations:$\text{y}_1=10\sin\frac{\pi}{4}(12\text{t}+1)$
and $\text{y}_2=5(\sin3\pi\text{t}+\sqrt{3}\cos\pi\text{t}).$ What is the ratio of their amplitudes?

Answer

Here, $\text{y}_1=10\sin\frac{\pi}{4}(12\text{t}+1)$$=10\sin(3\pi\text{t}+\frac{\pi}{4}) \ ...(\text{i})$
and $\text{y}_2=5[\sin3\pi\text{t}+\sqrt{3}\cos3\pi\text{t}]$$=10\Big[\frac{1}{2}\sin3\pi\text{t}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\cos3\pi\text{t}\Big]$
$=10\Big[\cos\frac{\pi}{3}\sin3\pi\text{t}+\sin\frac{\pi}{3}\cos3\pi\text{t}\Big]$
$=10\sin\big(3\pi\text{t}+\frac{\pi}{3}\big) \ ...(\text{ii})$
Thus, from (i) and (ii), the amplitude ratio of motion $=\frac{10}{10}=\frac{1}{1}=1:1$

Artificial diamond crystals have been manufactured by subjecting carbon in the form of graphite to a pressure of $1.55 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}$ at a high temperature. Assuming that natural dimonds were formed at similar high pressures within the earth, what must have been the original volume o the Kohinoor diamond, whose mass before cutting was about 175 g ? The density of the diamond $=3.5 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{-3}$ and its bulk modulus $=62 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}$.

A famous relation in physics relates ‘moving mass’ m to the ‘rest mass’ mo of a particle in terms of its speed v and the speed of light, c. (This relation first arose as a consequence of special relativity due to Albert Einstein). A boy recalls the relation almost correctly but forgets where to put the constant c. He writes: $\text{m}=\frac{\text{m}_0}{(1-\text{v}^2)^{1/2}}.$ Guess where to put the missing c.
