    A body executing linear simple harmonic motion has a velocity of 3 m/s when its displacement is 4 cm and a velocity of 4 m/s 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 :

    [a] Velocity in SHM is given by \[v=\omega \sqrt{{{a}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}}\]                        At \[y=4cm=0.04m,\,v=3m/s\] \[\therefore \,\,3=\omega \sqrt{{{a}^{2}}-{{(0.04)}^{2}}}\]              ?. (i) At \[y=3cm=0.03m,\,v=4m/s\] \[\therefore \,\,4=\omega \sqrt{{{a}^{2}}-{{(0.03)}^{2}}}\]            ?. (ii) Dividing (2) by (1), we get a =0.05=5cm
