  • question_answer
    A mass of 1 kg is suspended from a spring of force constant 400 N, executing S.H.M. total energy of the body is 2J, then maximum acceleration of the spring will be:

    A)  4 m/s2                 

    B)         40 m/s2

    C)  200 m/s2            

    D)         400 m/s2

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}\] \[=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{1}{400}}=\frac{2\pi }{20}\] Frequency \[=\frac{20}{2\pi }\]                                 \[\omega =2\pi n=2\pi \times \frac{20}{2\pi }=20\] Total energy\[\begin{align}   & E=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{a}^{2}} \\  & 2=\frac{1}{2}\times 1\times 400\times {{a}^{2}} \\  & a=\frac{1}{10}{{m}^{2}} \\ \end{align}\] Acceleration\[\begin{align}   & ={{\omega }^{2}}a-400\times \frac{1}{10} \\  & =40m/{{s}^{2}} \\ \end{align}\]
