Periodic Motion & SHM Basics

The displacement of simple harmonic oscillator after 3 seconds starting from its mean position is equal to half of its amplitude. The time period of harmonic motion is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. From the mean position: x=Asin⁡2πtTx = A\sin\frac{2\pi t}{T}.
  2. A2=Asin⁡2π(3)T⇒6πT=π6\frac{A}{2} = A\sin\frac{2\pi (3)}{T} \Rightarrow \frac{6\pi}{T} = \frac{\pi}{6}.
  3. T=36 sT = 36\ \text{s}.
  4. So the answer is (d) 36 s.
