Energy in SHM

For a particle P performing S.H.M., when displacement is 'x', potential energy and restoring force acting on it is denoted by 'E' and 'F' respectively. The relation between x, E and F is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. E=12kx2E = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2 and F=−kxF = -kx.
  2. 2EF=kx2−kx=−x\dfrac{2E}{F} = \dfrac{kx^2}{-kx} = -x
  3. 2EF+x=0\dfrac{2E}{F} + x = 0
  4. So the answer is (b).
