The x - t graph of a particle performing simple harmonic motion is...
The graph of a particle performing simple harmonic motion is shown in the figure. The acceleration of the particle at is:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
From the figure, it can be concluded that
Hence, the equation of motion of the particle is given by
The velocity of the particle is, then, given by
Hence, the acceleration of the particle can be written as
Substitute for into equation (3) to calculate the required value of the acceleration.
