The two particle are oscillating along two close parallel straight line in opposite direction towards the mean position The time taken by the particle X=0 to x=A/2 is T/12 and x=A to x=A/2 is T/6. Then calculate the time difference.Ans-T/3

The two particle are oscillating along two close parallel straight

1.	The two particle are oscillating along two close parallel straight line in opposite direction towards the mean position The time taken by the particle X=0 to x=A/2 is T/12 and x=A to x=A/2 is T/6. Then calculate the time difference.Ans-T/3
Answer» Time taken by the first particle is t/12 and second one is t/6 but first one has to reaches the mid point ( that point they cross each other) therefore first particle will crossed before attaining the t/12 time . ( both meet at t/6 time. )That's the REASON why it is not considered t/12 and used the value t/6. Both moving in opposite direction , so one particle should be-t/6) Next, time difference t/6-(-t/6) =t/3
