Two waves are represented by $y_1 = a \sin(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{6})$ and $y_2 = a \cos(\omega t)$. What will be their resultant amplitude?

When two progressive waves $y_1=4 \sin (2 x-6 t)$ and $y_2=3 \sin \left(2 x-6 t-\frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ are superimposed,the amplitude of the resultant wave is

Two waves are simultaneously passing through a string and their equations are:
${y}_{1} = {A}_{1} \sin {k}({x} - {vt}), {y}_{2} = {A}_{2} \sin {k}({x} - {vt} + {x}_{0}).$
Given amplitudes ${A}_{1} = 12 \, {mm}$ and ${A}_{2} = 5 \, {mm}$,${x}_{0} = 3.5 \, {cm}$,and wave number ${k} = 6.28 \, {cm}^{-1}$. The amplitude of the resulting wave will be $...... \, {mm}$.
