    The amplitude of an SHM executed by a particle is 10 cm. The distance with respect to mean position (a fixed point), where kinetic energy and potential energy will be equal, is

    A)  \[5\sqrt{2}\,cm\]                           

    B)  \[10\sqrt{2}\,cm\]

    C)  \[3\sqrt{2}\,cm\]                           

    D)  \[10\,cm\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Given, A = 10 cm Let the position of particle is x cm According to question, KE = PE \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{1}{2}m\,{{\omega }^{2}}({{A}^{2}}-{{x}^{2}})=\frac{1}{2}m\,{{\omega }^{2}}{{x}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[{{A}^{2}}-{{x}^{2}}={{x}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[{{A}^{2}}=2{{x}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[2{{x}^{2}}={{10}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[{{x}^{2}}=\frac{100}{2}=60\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[x=5\sqrt{2}\,cm.\]
