    A body executing linear simple harmonic motion has a velocity of 3 \[m{{s}^{-1}}\] when its displacement is 4 cm and a velocity of 4 \[m{{s}^{-1}}\]when its displacement is 3 cm. What is the amplitude of oscillation?

    A)  5 cm           

    B)  7.5 cm

    C)  10 cm          

    D)  12.5 cm

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Velocity of SHM \[v=\omega \sqrt{{{a}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[9={{\omega }^{2}}[{{a}^{2}}-16]\] ... (i) Similarly, \[16={{\omega }^{2}}[{{a}^{2}}-9]\] ... (ii) Dividing Eq. (ii) by Eq. (i), we get                 \[\frac{16}{9}=\frac{[{{a}^{2}}-9]}{[{{a}^{2}}-16]}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{a}^{2}}=25\] or a \[=5\text{ }cm\]
