A support beam, within an industrial building, is subjected to vibrations along its length; emanating from two
machines situated at opposite ends of the beam. The displacement caused by the vibrations can be modelled
by the following equations.


x1 = 3.75 sin (100πt + 2?/9)
?2 = 4.42 sin (100?? − 2?/ 5)

iii. At what time does each vibration first reach adisplacement of −2???


iv. Use the compound angle formulae to expand ?1and ?2 into the form ? sin 100?? ± ? cos 100??,
where A and B are numbers to be found.

v. Using your answers from part iv, express x1 + x2 in a similar form. Convert this expression into the
equivalent form Rsin(100πt + ∝).


vi. Model x1+x2 waves graphically and analyse the variation between graphical and analytical
methods
