Q78 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (22 Jul Shift 1) · Physics

The motion of a mass on a spring, with spring constant K is as shown in figure.

Figure

The equation of motion is given by, x(t)=Asinωt+Bcosωt with ω=Km.
Suppose that at time t=0, the position of mass is x(0) and velocity v(0), then its displacement can also be represented as x(t)=Ccos(ωt-ϕ), where C and ϕ are 

  • A
    C=2v(0)2ω2+x(0)2, ϕ=tan-1v(0)x(0)ω
  • B
    C=2v(0)2ω2+x(0)2, ϕ=tan-1x(0)ω2v(0)
  • C
    C=v(0)2ω2+x(0)2, ϕ=tan-1x(0)ωv(0)
  • Correct answer
    D
    C=v(0)2ω2+x(0)2, ϕ=tan-1v(0)x(0)ω

Solution

x=Asinωt+Bcosωt
v=dxdt=Aωcosωt-Bωsinωt
At t=0, x(0)=B
v(0)=Aω
x=Asinω+Bsinωt+90°

Figure

Anet=A2+B2
tanα=BA⇒cotα=AB
⇒x=A2+B2sin(ωt+α)
⇒x=A2+B2cos(ωt-(90-α))

x=Ccos(ωt-ϕ)

⇒C=A2+B2

C=[v(0)]2ω2+[x(0)]2
ϕ=90-α
tanα=cosα=AB

⇒tanϕ=v(0)x(0)·ω
ϕ=tan-1v(0)x(0)ω

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
