    A particle having potential energy 1/3 of the maximum value of a distant of 4 cm from a mean position. The amplitude of the motion is:

    A)  \[4\sqrt{3}\]                                     

    B)  \[6\sqrt{3}\]                     

    C)  \[2\sqrt{6}\]                     

    D)         \[2/\sqrt{6}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The maximum energy during S.H.M. \[{{E}_{\max }}=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{A}^{2}}\]                ?(i) where A = amplitude of the S.H.M. now at x = 4 \[P.E.=\frac{{{E}_{\max }}}{3}=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{x}^{2}}\]                    ?(ii) Then from equation (i) and (ii) we get \[\frac{1}{6}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{A}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{x}^{2}}\] \[{{x}^{2}}=\frac{{{A}^{2}}}{3},\]               so\[A=\sqrt{3}x=4\sqrt{3}\]
