Velocity & Acceleration in SHM

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

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. ωA2−x2=ω2x\omega\sqrt{A^2 - x^2} = \omega^2 x with A=3A = 3, x=2x = 2.
  2. 9−4=2ω⇒ω=52\sqrt{9 - 4} = 2\omega \Rightarrow \omega = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2} rad/s.
  3. T=2πω=4π5T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} = \frac{4\pi}{\sqrt{5}} s.
  4. So the answer is (b) 4π5\frac{4\pi}{\sqrt{5}}.
