    The amplitude of a particle executing SHM is 4 cm. At the mean position the speed of the particle is 16 cm/sec. The distance of the particle from the mean position at which the speed of the particle becomes \[8\sqrt{3}\,cm/s\], will be

    A) \[2\sqrt{3\,}cm\]            

    B) \[\sqrt{3\,}cm\]

    C) 1cm     

    D) 2cm

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] At mean position velocity is maximum i.e., \[{{v}_{\max }}=\omega a\Rightarrow \omega \frac{{{v}_{\max }}}{a}=\frac{16}{4}=4\] \[\therefore \,\,v=\omega \sqrt{{{a}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}}\Rightarrow 8\sqrt{3}=4\sqrt{{{4}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,192=16(16-{{y}^{2}})\Rightarrow 12=16-{{y}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,y=2cm.\]
