JEE Main & Advanced Physics Simple Harmonic Motion Question Bank Spring Pendulum

  • question_answer
    A spring executes SHM with mass of 10kg attached to it. The force constant of spring is 10N/m.If at any instant its velocity is 40cm/sec, the displacement will be (where amplitude is 0.5m)                                              [RPMT 2004]

    A)            0.09 m                                     

    B)            0.3 m

    C)            0.03 m                                     

    D)            0.9 m

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       Angular velocity \[\omega =\sqrt{\left( \frac{k}{m} \right)}\]\[=\sqrt{\left( \frac{10}{10} \right)}=1\]                    Now \[u=\omega \sqrt{{{a}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}}\]Þ\[{{y}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}-\frac{{{u}^{2}}}{{{\omega }^{2}}}\]\[={{(0.5)}^{2}}-\frac{{{(0.4)}^{2}}}{{{1}^{2}}}\]            Þ \[{{y}^{2}}=0.9\] = \[y=0.3\,m\]
