    The acceleration of a particle performing SHM is \[12cm/{{s}^{2}}\] at a distance of 3 cm from the mean position. Its time period is

    A)  0.5 s                     

    B)         1.0 s

    C)  2.0 s                     

    D)         3.14 s

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Acceleration\[a={{\omega }^{2}}y\]                 \[a={{\left( \frac{2\pi }{T} \right)}^{2}}y\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{T}^{2}}=\frac{4{{\pi }^{2}}y}{a}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{y}{a}}\]                 \[=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{3}{12}}\]                 \[T=2\pi \times \frac{1}{2}=3.14\,\,s\]
