JEE Main & Advanced Physics Wave Mechanics Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Oscillations

  • question_answer
    A body is executing S.H.M. When its displacement from the mean position are 4 cm and 5 cm, it has velocities \[10cm\,{{s}^{-1}}\] and \[8\,cm\,{{s}^{-1}}\] respectively. Its periodic time is

    A) \[\pi /2\,s\]         

    B) \[\pi s\]  

    C) \[3\pi /2s\]         

    D) \[2\pi s\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Using \[{{v}^{2}}={{\omega }^{2}}({{a}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}})\] we have \[{{10}^{2}}={{\omega }^{2}}({{a}^{2}}-{{4}^{2}})\] and \[{{8}^{2}}={{\omega }^{2}}({{a}^{2}}-{{5}^{2}});\] so \[{{10}^{2}}-{{8}^{2}}={{\omega }^{2}}({{5}^{2}}-{{4}^{2}})=(3{{\omega }^{2}})\,or\,6=3\omega \] or \[\omega =2\,or\,T=2\pi /\omega =2\pi /2=\pi s.\]
