Question 25683: Hi, i have this question and i dont know how to start it or what i have to actually find. this is the question;
Two vibration, x1=3sin(10t+π/6) and x2=2cos(10t- π/6) where t is in seconds, are superimposed. Determine the time at which the amplitude of the resultant vibration, x1+x2 first reaches a value of 2.
thanks

One way to do it would be to graph the sum of the curves
and find the 1st intersection of this sum with the line
y=2. I get an answer of t=0.19834196... radians
