A particle travels along the X-axis described by the equation . The motion is simple harmonic with an amplitude of
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
The given equation of motion is .
Rearranging the terms, we get .
This equation represents a simple harmonic motion about the mean position .
The amplitude of the motion is the maximum displacement from the mean position.
Since the maximum value of is , the maximum displacement from the mean position is .
Therefore, the amplitude of the simple harmonic motion is .
