Energy in SHM

A particle of mass 'mm' is executing S.H.M. about the origin on x-axis with frequency Kaπm\sqrt{\frac{Ka}{\pi m}}, where K is a constant and a is the amplitude of S.H.M. If 'xx' is the displacement of a particle at time 'tt', the potential energy of a particle will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. ω=2πf⇒ω2=4π2⋅Kaπm=4πKam\omega = 2\pi f \Rightarrow \omega^2 = 4\pi^2 \cdot \frac{Ka}{\pi m} = \frac{4\pi Ka}{m}
  2. U=12mω2x2=12m⋅4πKamx2U = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2 = \frac{1}{2}m \cdot \frac{4\pi Ka}{m}x^2
  3. U=2πKax2U = 2\pi Kax^2
  4. So the answer is (c) 2πKax22\pi Kax^2.
