    A particle is having potential energy 1/3 of the maximum value at a distance of 4 cm from mean position. Amplitude of motion is:

    A) \[\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}\]                     

    B)        \[\frac{6}{\sqrt{2}}\]                     

    C) \[\frac{2}{\sqrt{6}}\]                     

    D)        \[2\sqrt{6}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    From the formula of maximum energy during simple harmonic motion \[{{E}_{\max }}=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{A}^{2}}\]                ?(1) Again at\[x=4,\] the potential energy \[\frac{{{E}_{\max }}}{3}=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{x}^{2}}\]                              ?(2) Now from Eqs. (1) and (2), we obtain \[\frac{1}{6}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{A}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{x}^{2}}\] \[{{x}^{2}}=\frac{{{A}^{2}}}{3}\]or \[A=\sqrt{3}x\] So, at \[x=4\,cm,\,A=4\sqrt{3}\]
