The general solution
x = A sin wnt + B cos wnt ---eq1
May be expressed in terms of simple sinusoidal motion. Let

and |
|
where C and
(phi) are constants to be determined in lieu of
A and B. Substituting new values of A and B into eq1, we obtain:
---eq2
By using trigonometric identity
![]()
We can rewrite eq2 in the required form:
