The graph shows variation of displacement of a particle performing SHM with time t. which of the following statements is correct from the graph?
The graph shows variation of displacement of a particle performing SHM with time t. which of the following statements

Options

  1. AThe acceleration is maximum at time TT.
  2. BThe force is maximum at time 3T4.\dfrac{3T}{4}.
  3. CThe velocity is zero at time T2.\dfrac{T}{2}.
  4. DThe kinetic energy is equal to total energy at time T4.\dfrac{T}{4}.

Correct answer

B. The force is maximum at time 3T4.\dfrac{3T}{4}.

Step-by-step solution

From the given graph, the displacement of the particle is x=Asin⁡(ωt)x = A \sin(\omega t), where ω=2πT\omega = \dfrac{2\pi}{T}.

At t=Tt = T, displacement x=0x = 0. Acceleration a=−ω2x=0a = -\omega^2 x = 0. Thus, acceleration is zero.

At t=3T4t = \dfrac{3T}{4}, displacement x=−Ax = -A (extreme position). The restoring force is F=−kxF = -kx. The magnitude of force is ∣F∣=k∣−A∣=kA|F| = k|-A| = kA, which is the maximum value. Thus, the force is maximum.

At t=T2t = \dfrac{T}{2}, displacement x=0x = 0 (mean position). Velocity is maximum at the mean position, not zero.

At t=T4t = \dfrac{T}{4}, displacement x=Ax = A (extreme position). Velocity is zero, so kinetic energy is zero. Total energy is entirely potential energy.

Answer: The force is maximum at time 3T4\dfrac{3T}{4}.
