Periodic Motion & SHM Basics

The displacement of particle in S.H.M. is x=Acos⁡(ωt+π/6)x = A\cos(\omega t + \pi/6). Its speed will be maximum at time (sin⁡90∘=1)(\sin 90^\circ = 1)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. v=−Aωsin⁡(ωt+π/6)v = -A\omega\sin(\omega t + \pi/6); speed is maximum when sin⁡(ωt+π/6)=1\sin(\omega t + \pi/6) = 1.
  2. ωt+π6=π2⇒ωt=π3\omega t + \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{\pi}{2} \Rightarrow \omega t = \frac{\pi}{3}.
  3. t=π3ω st = \frac{\pi}{3\omega}\ \text{s}.
  4. So the answer is (a).
