The motion of a mass on a spring, with spring constant K is as shown in figure.
The equation of motion is given by x(t) = A sin t + B cos t with = 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) = C cos( t ), where C and are :

Correct answer: C
- Given SHM equation
The displacement is with
We are told that at , position and velocity are and respectively.
- Use initial conditions to find and
From at : So,
Now differentiate to get velocity: At : Thus,
So the motion becomes
- Compare with the form
Using the identity we get
Comparing with we obtain:
- Find
Square and add: Since , Hence,
- Find
Divide the two equations: \tan\phi=\frac{C\sin\phi}{C\cos\phi}=rac{\frac{v(0)}{\omega}}{x(0)}=rac{v(0)}{x(0)\omega}. Therefore,
- Match with options
We found:
This matches Option C.
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: C
My derived answer: C
So they agree.
