A particle executes simple harmonic motion and it is located at x=a,bx = a, b and cc at time t0,2t0and3t0{t}_{0}, 2{t}_{0}and3{t}_{0} respectively. The frequency of the oscillation is:

Options

  1. A12πt0cos⁡−1(a+c2b)\dfrac{1}{2\pi{t}_{0}}\cos^{- 1} \left(\dfrac{a + c}{2b}\right)
  2. B12πt0cos⁡−1(a+2b3c)\dfrac{1}{2\pi{t}_{0}}\cos^{- 1} \left(\dfrac{a + 2b}{3c}\right)
  3. C12πt0cos⁡−1(a+b2c)\dfrac{1}{2\pi{t}_{0}}\cos^{- 1} \left(\dfrac{a + b}{2c}\right)
  4. D12πt0cos⁡−1(2a+3cb)\dfrac{1}{2\pi{t}_{0}}\cos^{- 1} \left(\dfrac{2a + 3c}{b}\right)

Correct answer

A. 12πt0cos⁡−1(a+c2b)\dfrac{1}{2\pi{t}_{0}}\cos^{- 1} \left(\dfrac{a + c}{2b}\right)

Step-by-step solution

a=Asinωt0a = Asin \omega{t}_{0}...(1)( 1 )
b=Asin2ωt0b = Asin 2\omega{t}_{0}...(2)( 2 )
c=Asin3ωt0c = Asin 3\omega{t}_{0}...(3)( 3 )

adding equation (1)( 1 ) and (3)( 3 )

a+c=A[sinωt0+sin⁡3ωt0]=2Asin2ωt0cosωt0a + c = A\left[sin \omega{t}_{0} + \sin 3\omega{t}_{0}\right] = 2Asin 2\omega{t}_{0}cos \omega{t}_{0}...(4)( 4 )

∵sinC+sinD=2sinC+D2cosC−D2∵ sinC + sinD = 2sin\dfrac{C + D}{2}cos\dfrac{C - D}{2}

from equation (2)( 2 ) and (4)( 4 )

a+cb=2cosωt0\dfrac{a + c}{b} = 2cos\omega{t}_{0}

ω=1t0cos⁡−1(a+c2b)⇒f=12πt0cos⁡−1(a+c2b)\omega = \dfrac{1}{{t}_{0}}\cos^{- 1} \left(\dfrac{a + c}{2b}\right) ⇒ f = \dfrac{1}{2\pi{t}_{0}}\cos^{- 1} \left(\dfrac{a + c}{2b}\right)
