Periodic Motion & SHM Basics

A body of mass 0.04 kg0.04\text{ kg} executes simple harmonic motion (SHM) about x=0x = 0 under the influence of force FF as shown in graph. The period of oscillation is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. From the graph, F=−kxF = -kx with k=82=4 N/mk = \frac{8}{2} = 4\text{ N/m}.
  2. T=2πmk=2π0.044=2π(0.1)T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{0.04}{4}} = 2\pi(0.1)
  3. So the answer is (b) 0.2π s0.2\pi\text{ s}.
