Problem 42
Lissajous figures are used in the study of electrical circults to determine the phase difference \(\phi\) between a known voltage \(V_{1}(t)=A \sin (\omega t)\) and an unknown voltage \(V_{2}(t)=B \sin (\omega t+\phi)\) having the same frequency. The voltages are graphed parametrically as \(x=V_{1}(t)\) and \(y=V_{2}(t)\) If \(\phi\) is acute, then $$\phi=\sin ^{-1} \frac{y_\text{int}}{y_{\max }}$$ where \(y_{\text {int }}\) is the nonnegative \(y\) -intercept and \(y_{\max }\) is the maximum \(y\) -value on the curve. (a) Graph the parametric curve \(x=V_{1}(t)\) and \(y=V_{2}(t)\) for the specified range of \(t\) (b) Use the graph to approximate \(\phi\) in degrees. \(V_{1}(t)=6 \sin (120 \pi t), \quad V_{2}(t)=5 \cos (120 \pi t)\) \(-0 \leq t \leq 0.02\)
