Options

  1. A−π216ms−2\dfrac{- {\pi}^{2}}{16}m{s}^{- 2}
  2. Bπ28ms−2\dfrac{{\pi}^{2}}{8}m{s}^{- 2}
  3. C−π28ms−2\dfrac{- {\pi}^{2}}{8}m{s}^{- 2}
  4. Dπ216ms−2\dfrac{{\pi}^{2}}{16}m{s}^{- 2}

Correct answer

A. −π216ms−2\dfrac{- {\pi}^{2}}{16}m{s}^{- 2}

Step-by-step solution

From the figure, it can be concluded that

{A=1ω=2π8=π4\begin{cases}A & = & 1 \\ \omega & = & \dfrac{2\pi}{8} \\ = & \dfrac{\pi}{4}\end{cases}

Hence, the equation of motion of the particle is given by

{x=Asin\omegat=sinπ4t...(1)\begin{cases}x & = & Asin\omegat \\ = & sin\dfrac{\pi}{4}t . . . \left(1\right)\end{cases}

The velocity of the particle is, then, given by

{v=dxdt=ddt(sinπ4t)=π4cosπ4t...(2)\begin{cases}v & = & \dfrac{dx}{dt} \\ = & \dfrac{d}{dt}\left(sin\dfrac{\pi}{4}t\right) \\ = & \dfrac{\pi}{4}cos\dfrac{\pi}{4}t . . . \left(2\right)\end{cases}

Hence, the acceleration of the particle can be written as

{a=dvdt=ddt(π4cosπ4t)=−π216sinπ4t...(3)\begin{cases}a & = & \dfrac{dv}{dt} \\ = & \dfrac{d}{dt}\left(\dfrac{\pi}{4}cos\dfrac{\pi}{4}t\right) \\ = & - \dfrac{{\pi}^{2}}{16}sin\dfrac{\pi}{4}t . . . \left(3\right)\end{cases}

Substitute 22 for tt into equation (3) to calculate the required value of the acceleration.

{a=−π216sin⁡(π4×2)=−π216ms−2\begin{cases}a & = & - \dfrac{{\pi}^{2}}{16}\sin \left(\dfrac{\pi}{4} \times 2\right) \\ = & - \dfrac{{\pi}^{2}}{16}{ms}^{- 2}\end{cases}
