The displacement of two identical particles performing S.H.M are represented by equation x1=6sin⁡(5t+π/4)x_1 = 6 \sin ( 5t + \pi /4) and x2=4cos⁡ωtx_2 = 4 \cos \omega t. The energies of both the particles will be same, if the value of ω\omega is

Options

  1. A9.59.5 unit
  2. B6.56.5 unit
  3. C8.58.5 unit
  4. D7.57.5 unit

Correct answer

D. 7.57.5 unit

Step-by-step solution

The total energy of a particle performing simple harmonic motion is given by E=12mω2A2E = \dfrac{1}{2} m \omega^2 A^2

For the first particle, the amplitude is A1=6A_1 = 6 and the angular frequency is ω1=5\omega_1 = 5.

Its energy is E1=12m(5)2(6)2=12m(25)(36)=450mE_1 = \dfrac{1}{2} m (5)^2 (6)^2 = \dfrac{1}{2} m (25)(36) = 450 m

For the second particle, the amplitude is A2=4A_2 = 4 and the angular frequency is ω2=ω\omega_2 = \omega.

Its energy is E2=12m(ω)2(4)2=8mω2E_2 = \dfrac{1}{2} m (\omega)^2 (4)^2 = 8 m \omega^2

Since the particles are identical, their masses are the same. Given that their energies are equal, we have E1=E2E_1 = E_2

450m=8mω2450 m = 8 m \omega^2

ω2=4508=2254\omega^2 = \dfrac{450}{8} = \dfrac{225}{4}

ω=152=7.5\omega = \dfrac{15}{2} = 7.5 unit

Answer: 7.57.5 unit
