A) \[A\sqrt{2}\]
B) A/2
C) \[\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}A\]
D) \[A\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\]
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
[c] : Kinetic energy when the displacement of the particle is x, is given by\[K=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}({{A}^{2}}-{{x}^{2}})\] Potential energy at this instant is given by \[U=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{x}^{2}}\] According to the condition given in the question \[K=\frac{1}{8}U\]\[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}({{A}^{2}}-{{x}^{2}})=\frac{1}{8}.\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{x}^{2}}\] or \[({{A}^{2}}-{{x}^{2}})=\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{8}\] On rearranging, we get \[x=\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}A\]You need to login to perform this action.
