A2=Asin(ωt) = Asin(ωt+α)

v=Aωcos(ωt)=-Aωcos(ωt+α)

gives, sin(ωt+α)=sin(ωt)

and, cos(ωt+α)=-cos(ωt)

also we get sin(ωt)=12

sin(ωt)cosα+cos(ωt)sinα=sin(ωt)

or, cosα+cot(ωt)sinα=1

sin(ωt)=1/2 or cosec(ωt)=2 or cosec2(ωt)=4 or cot2(ωt)=3 or cot(ωt)=√3 or tan(ωt)=1/√3

so, cosα+√3sinα=1

using the second set of eqns,

sin(ωt)sinα-cos(ωt)cosα=cos(ωt)
or, tan(ωt)sinα-cosα=1

or, sinα-√3cosα=√3

the 2 bolded eqns on solving give 4sinα=2√3
sinα=√3/2
gives α=60° or 120°

but α can't be 60° by eqn sin(ωt)=√32

thus α=120°
