    A body is executing simple harmonic motion. At a displacement x from mean position, its potential energy is \[{{E}_{1}}=2J\] and at a displacement y from mean position, its potential energy is \[{{E}_{2}}=8J\]. The potential energy E at a . displacement \[(x+y)\] from mean position is

    A)  \[10J\]                         

    B)  \[14\,J\]

    C)  \[18\,J\]                       

    D)  \[4\,J\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[{{E}_{1}}=\frac{1}{2}k{{x}^{2}},{{E}_{2}}=\frac{1}{2}k{{y}^{2}},\] \[E=\frac{1}{2}k{{(x+y)}^{2}}={{E}_{1}}+{{E}_{2}}+2\sqrt{{{E}_{1}}{{E}_{2}}}\] \[=2+8+2\sqrt{16}=18j\]
