  • question_answer
    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 [Pb. PET 2003]

    A)            \[2\sqrt{3}cm\]                   

    B)            \[\sqrt{3}cm\]

    C)            1 cm                                         

    D)            2 cm

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

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