A particle executes linear simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 3 cm. When the particle is at 2 cm from the mean position, the magnitude of its velocity is equal to that of its acceleration. Then its time period in seconds is

Options

  1. A5π\dfrac{\sqrt{5}}{\pi}
  2. B52π\dfrac{\sqrt{5}}{2\pi}
  3. C4π5\dfrac{4\pi}{\sqrt{5}}
  4. D2π3\dfrac{2\pi}{\sqrt{3}}

Correct answer

C. 4π5\dfrac{4\pi}{\sqrt{5}}

Step-by-step solution

At position xx from the mean position in S.H.M.

velocity, v=ωA2−x2v = \omega\sqrt{{A}^{2} - {x}^{2}}

acceleration, a=xω2a = x{\omega}^{2}

here ω\omega is the angular frequency and AA is amplitude.

Given in the problem, v=av = a

⇒⇒ ωA2−x2=xω2\omega\sqrt{{A}^{2} - {x}^{2}} = x{\omega}^{2}

⇒⇒ (3)2−(2)2=2(2πT)\sqrt{{\left(3\right)}^{2} - {\left(2\right)}^{2}} = 2\left(\dfrac{2\pi}{T}\right)

5=4πT\sqrt{5} = \dfrac{4\pi}{T}

Time period, T=4π5T = \dfrac{4\pi}{\sqrt{5}}
