    The amplitude of an oscillating simple pendulum is 10 cm and its time period is 4 s. Its speed after 1 s when it passes through its equilibrium position is

    A)  zero                                     

    B)  2.0 m/s

    C)   0.3 m/s                              

    D)  0.4 m/s

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     For a body executing SHM the displacement equation is given by                 y = A \[\sin \omega \,t\]                               ... (i) where A is amplitude, © the angular velocity and t the time. Also,      velocity \[v=\frac{dy}{dt}\]               ... (ii) From Eq. (i), we get                 \[v=\frac{dy}{dt}=A\,\omega \,\cos \omega t\] where   \[\omega =\frac{2\pi }{T}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{dy}{dt}=A\,.\,\frac{2\pi }{T}\cos \left( \frac{2\pi }{T}t \right)\] Given,   A = 10 cm = 0.1 m,            T = 4 s,                 \[\frac{dy}{dt}=0.1\times \frac{2\pi }{4}\cos \left( \frac{2\pi \times 1}{4} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{2\pi \times 0.1}{4}\cos \frac{\pi }{2}=0\]
