    A body executing SHM has a maximum velocity of 1 \[m{{s}^{-1}}\]and a maximum acceleration of 4 \[m{{s}^{-2}}\]. Its amplitude in metre is

    A) 1                                                

    B) 0.75

    C) 0.5                                            

    D) 0.25

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    A body executing SHM have \[{{V}_{\max }}=1\,m{{s}^{-1}}\] and                 \[{{a}_{\max }}=4\,m{{s}^{-1}}\] since,             \[{{v}_{\max }}=r\omega \]             ?. (i) and                  \[{{a}_{\max }}={{\omega }^{2}}r\]          ?. (ii) (numerically) where,\[\omega =\] angular speed of SHM r = amplitude of SHM Dividing Eq. (ii) by the square of Eq. (i), we get \[\frac{{{a}_{\max }}}{V_{\max }^{2}}=\frac{{{\omega }^{2}}r}{{{r}^{2}}{{\omega }^{2}}}=\frac{1}{r}\] \[r=\frac{v_{\max }^{2}}{{{a}_{\max }}}=\frac{1\times 1}{4}=\frac{1}{4}\] \[\therefore \]   Amplitude of SHM = 0.25m
