Two particles move parallel to the x- axis about the orgin with the same amplitude ‘a’ and frequency ‘w’.At a certain instant they are found at a distance ‘a/3’ from the orgin on opposite sides their velocities are in the same direction.what is the phase difference between the two?

Make phesor diagram to silve it for both particle take the angle p,q from hrizontal line you will get sin(p)=sin(q)=1/3 hence phase difference is p+q = 2sin inverse if 1/3. =2sin^(-1){1/3} = sin^(-1){4√2÷9}. Please do approve my answer if correct
