NEET2018PhysicsOscillationsActual
A pendulum is hung from the roof of a sufficiently high building and is moving freely to and fro like a simple harmonic oscillator. The acceleration of the bob of the pendulum is 20  m   s - 2 at a distance of 5   m from mean position. The time period of oscillation is
Options
- A2 s
- Bπ s
- C2 π s
- D1 s
Correct answer
B. π s
Step-by-step solution
Acceleration in SHM is a = ω 2 x 20 = ω 2 5 ⇒ ω 2 = 4 ⇒ ω = 2 ⇒ 2 π T = 2 T = π s
