Answer:
Correct Answer: 49. (b)
Solution:
- (b) Displacement from the mean position
$y=a \sin (\frac{2 \pi}{T}) t$
According to problem $y=a / 2$
$a / 2=a \sin (\frac{2 \pi}{T}) t$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\pi}{6}=(\frac{2 \pi}{T}) t \Rightarrow t=T / 12$
This is the minimum time taken by the particle to travel half of the amplitude from the equilibrium position.
