4 A particle P is performing simple harmonic motion in a vertical line. At time \(t \mathrm {~s}\), its displacement \(x \mathrm {~m}\) above a fixed point O is given by
$$x = A \sin \omega t + B \cos \omega t$$
where \(A , B\) and \(\omega\) are constants.
- Show that the acceleration of P , in \(\mathrm { ms } ^ { - 2 }\), is \(- \omega ^ { 2 } x\).
When \(t = 0 , \mathrm { P }\) is 16 m below O , moving with velocity \(7.5 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) upwards, and has acceleration \(1 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\) upwards.
- Find the values of \(A , B\) and \(\omega\).
- Find the maximum displacement, the maximum speed, and the maximum acceleration of P .
- Find the speed and the direction of motion of P when \(t = 15\).
- Find the distance travelled by P between \(t = 0\) and \(t = 15\).
