  • question_answer
    The displacement of a particle varies with time as \[x=12\sin \omega t-16{{\sin }^{3}}\omega t\](in cm). If its motion is S.H.M., then its maximum acceleration is                           

    A)            \[12\,{{\omega }^{2}}\]   

    B)            \[36\,{{\omega }^{2}}\]

    C)            \[144\,{{\omega }^{2}}\]

    D)            \[\sqrt{192}\,{{\omega }^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       \[x=12\sin \omega \,t-16\,{{\sin }^{3}}\omega \,t=4[3\sin \omega \,t-4{{\sin }^{3}}\omega \,t]\]                     \[=4[\sin 3\omega \,t]\] (By using \[\sin 3\theta =3\sin \theta -4{{\sin }^{3}}\theta )\]                    \[\therefore \] maximum acceleration \[{{A}_{\max }}={{(3\omega )}^{2}}\times 4=36{{\omega }^{2}}\]
