Oscillations - Result Question 36

40. A particle executes linear simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 3cm. When the particle is at 2cm from the mean position, the magnitude of its velocity is equal to that of its acceleration. Then its time period in seconds is

[2017]

(a) 52π

(b) 4π5

(c) 2π3

(d) 5π

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 40. (b)

Solution:

  1. (b) Given, Amplitude A=3cm

When particle is at x=2cm

According to question, magnitude of velocity = acceleration

ωA2x2=xω2

(3)2(2)2=2(2πT)

5=4πTT=4π5
