    A particle executes SHM with amplitude \[0.2m\]and time period 24 s. The time required for it to move from the mean position to a point 0.1 m from the mean position is

    A)  \[2s\]   

    B)  \[3s\]   

    C)  \[8s\]   

    D)  \[12s\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    : Here, Amplitude, \[A=0.2\text{ }m\] Time period,  \[T=24\text{ }s\] Since time is noted from the mean position, hence displacement x of a particle from its mean position is given by \[x=A\sin \omega t\] Here,   \[x=0.1m\] \[\therefore \] \[0.1=0.2\sin \omega t\] \[\frac{1}{2}=\sin \omega t\] \[\sin \left( \frac{\pi }{6} \right)=\sin \omega t\] \[\omega t=\frac{\pi }{6}\] \[t=\frac{\pi }{60}=\frac{\pi }{6}\left( \frac{T}{2\pi } \right)\] \[\left( \because \,\,\omega =\frac{2\pi }{T} \right)\] \[=\frac{\pi \times 24}{6\times 2\pi }=2s\]
