A simple harmonic oscillator of angular frequency 2 rad s - 1 is acted upon by an external force F = sin ⁡ t N . If the oscillator is at rest in its equilibrium position at t = 0 , its position at later times is proportional to:

Options

  1. Asin ⁡ t + 1 2 cos ⁡ 2 t
  2. Bc o s t - 1 2 sin ⁡ 2 t
  3. Csin ⁡ t - 1 2 sin ⁡ 2 t
  4. Dsin ⁡ t + 1 2 sin ⁡ 2 t

Correct answer

C. sin ⁡ t - 1 2 sin ⁡ 2 t

Step-by-step solution

It is given that oscillator at rest at t = 0 i.e. at t = 0 , v = 0 . So, in option, we can check by putting v = d x d t = 0 . (1) I f   x ∝ sin ⁡ t + 1 2 cos ⁡ 2 t ⟹ v ∝ cos ⁡ t + 1 2 × 2   ( - sin ⁡ 2 t ) ⟹     a t   t = 0 ,   v ∝ 1 - 0 ≠ 0 (2) I f   x   ∝ cos ⁡ t - 1 2 sin ⁡ t ⟹     v ∝ - sin ⁡ t - 1 2 cos ⁡ t ⟹ a t   t = 0 ,   v ∝ -
