Problem

A particle is simultaneously subjected to three simple harmonic motions, all of the same frequency and in the xx direction. If the amplitudes are 0.25, 0.20, and 0.15 mm, respectively, and the phase difference between the first and second is 45°45°, and between the second and third is 30°30°, find the amplitude of the resultant displacement and its phase relative to the first (0.25-mm amplitude) component.
