    A particle is executing SHM according to the equation\[x=A\cos \omega t\]. Average speed of the particle during the interval\[0\le t\le \frac{\pi }{6\omega }\]

    A) \[\frac{\sqrt{3}A\omega }{2}\]  

    B) \[\frac{\sqrt{3}A\omega }{4}\]

    C) \[\frac{3A\omega }{\pi }\]         

    D) \[\frac{3A\omega }{\pi }(2-\sqrt{3})\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Average velocity \[\bar{v}=\frac{\int\limits_{0}^{t}{\frac{dx}{dt}.dt}}{t}=\frac{\int\limits_{0}^{t}{dx}}{t}=\frac{x(t)-x(0)}{t}\] \[=\frac{A(cos\pi /6-1)}{\pi /6\omega }=\frac{3A\omega }{\pi }(\sqrt{3}-2)\] Since particle does not change its direction in the given interval, average speed becomes \[\left| {\bar{v}} \right|=\frac{3A\omega }{\pi }(2-\sqrt{3})\]
