The displacement-time equation of a particle executing $SHM$ is $x = A \sin(\omega t + \phi)$. At time $t = 0$,the position of the particle is $x = A/2$ and it is moving along the negative $x$-direction. Then the phase angle $\phi$ is:

  • A
    $\pi / 6$
  • B
    $\pi / 3$
  • C
    $2\pi / 3$
  • D
    $5\pi / 6$

Two particles are in $SHM$ on the same straight line with amplitudes $A$ and $2A$ and with the same angular frequency $\omega$. It is observed that when the first particle is at a distance $A/\sqrt{2}$ from the origin and moving toward the mean position,the other particle is at the extreme position on the other side of the mean position. Find the phase difference between the two particles. (in $^o$)
