Simple Pendulum

A bob of simple pendulum of mass 'm' perform SHM\text{SHM} with amplitude 'AA' and period 'T'. Kinetic energy of pendulum of displacement x=A2x = \frac{A}{2} will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. In SHM, KE=12mω2(A2−x2)KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2) with ω=2πT\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}.
  2. At x=A2x = \frac{A}{2}: A2−x2=3A24A^2 - x^2 = \frac{3A^2}{4}.
  3. KE=12m⋅4π2T2⋅3A24=3mπ2A22T2KE = \frac{1}{2}m\cdot\frac{4\pi^2}{T^2}\cdot\frac{3A^2}{4} = \frac{3m\pi^2A^2}{2T^2}
  4. So the answer is (d) 3mπ2A22T2\frac{3m\pi^2A^2}{2T^2}.
