Question
A support beam within an industrial building is subjected to vibrations along its length,
which originate from two machines situated at opposite ends of the beam. The
displacement caused by the vibrations can be modelled by the following equations:
x₁ =
1
= 3.75sin (100nt)
X2
= 5.17sin (150nt)
i) When both machines are switched on, how many seconds does it take for each
machine to produce its maximum displacement?
t
X1
X2
ii) At what time does each vibration first reach a displacement of 2 mm?
iii) Derive a formula that shows when xy = x₂ = 0.
iv) Use the compound angle formulae to expand x and x into the form
Asin (100nt)+Bcos (100nt), where A and B are constant numbers to be found.

v) Using your answers from part (iv), express x₁ + x, in a similar form, and convert this
expression into the equivalent form: R sin(100nt + a).
vi) Using appropriate spreadsheet software, copy and complete the following table of
values:
0.000 0.002 0.004 0.006 0.008 0.010 0.012 0.014 0.016 0.018 0.020

vii) Plot the graphs of x and x on the same axes using any suitable computer package.
Extend your table to include x + x and plot this graph on the same axes as the
previous two. State the amplitude and frequency of the new wave.

viii) Using your answers from parts v and vii, what conclusions can be drawn about x + x
in addition, analyse the variation between the graphical and analytical methods you
have used.
