The displacement $y(t) = A\,\sin \,(\omega t + \phi )$ of a pendulum for $\phi = \frac {2\pi }{3}$ is correctly represented by

A
B
C
D
(AIEEE-2012)

Solution

Displacement $y(t)=A \sin (w t+\phi)$

$[Given]$

For $\phi=\frac{2 \pi}{3}$

at $t=0 ; y=A \sin \phi=A \sin \frac{2 \pi}{3}$

$=A \sin 120^{\circ}=0.87 A\left[\because \sin 120^{\circ}=0.866\right]$

Graph $(a)$ depicts $y=0.87 A$ at $t=0$
