Energy in SHM

The kinetic energy of a particle, executing simple harmonic motion is 16 J when it is in mean position. If amplitude of motion is 25 cm and the mass of the particle is 5.12 kg, the period of oscillation is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. KE at mean position = total energy: 12mω2A2=16\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2A^2 = 16 J.
  2. 12(5.12)ω2(0.25)2=0.16 ω2=16⇒ω=10\frac{1}{2}(5.12)\omega^2(0.25)^2 = 0.16\,\omega^2 = 16 \Rightarrow \omega = 10 rad/s
  3. T=2πω=2π10=π5T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} = \frac{2\pi}{10} = \frac{\pi}{5} s
  4. So the answer is (a) π5\frac{\pi}{5} s.
