The displacement time graph of a particle executing SHM is given in figure: (sketch is schematic and not to scale) 

The displacement time graph of a particle executing SHM is given in figure: (sketch is schematic and not to scale)

Which of the following statements is/are true for this motion? 

(A) The force is zero at t=3T4t = \dfrac{3T}{4}
(B) The magnitude of acceleration is maximum at t=Tt = T
(C) The speed is maximum at t=T4t = \dfrac{T}{4}
(D) The P.E.P . E . is equal to K.E.K . E . of the oscillation at t=T2t = \dfrac{T}{2}

Options

  1. A(A),(B)\left(A\right), \left(B\right) and \left(C\right)
  2. B(B),(C)\left(B\right), \left(C\right) and \left(D\right)
  3. C(A),(B)\left(A\right), \left(B\right) and \left(D\right)
  4. D(A)and(D)\left(A\right)and \left(D\right)

Correct answer

A. (A),(B)\left(A\right), \left(B\right) and \left(C\right)

Step-by-step solution

From graph equation of SHM.

X=Acos\omegatX = Acos\omegat
(A) at 3T4\dfrac{3T}{4} particle at mean position
∴a=0∴ a = 0
F=0F = 0
(B) at T particle again at extreme position so acceleration is maximum
(C) at t=T4,t = \dfrac{T}{4}, particle is at mean position so velocity maximum. ∴a=0∴ a = 0
(D) KE=PEKE = PE
12k(A2−x2)=12kx2\dfrac{1}{2}k\left({A}^{2} - {x}^{2}\right) = \dfrac{1}{2}k{x}^{2}
A2=2x2{A}^{2} = 2{x}^{2}
x=+A2x = \dfrac{+ A}{\sqrt{2}}

A2=Acos\omegat\dfrac{A}{\sqrt{2}} = Acos\omegat

t=T8t = \dfrac{T}{8}
∴A,B∴ A, B and CC are correct.
