(1) Hint: The particle will have the maximum speed at the mean position and the maximum acceleration at the extreme position.
Step 1: Find the maximum velocity.
Let equation of an SHM is represented by, y = a sin ωt
v=dydt=aωcosωt
⇒ (v)max=aω=aω=30 ...(i)
Step 2: Find the maximum acceleration.
Acceleration, (A)=dx2dt2=−aω2 sinωt
Amax=ω2a=60 ...(ii)
Step 3: Find the period of the oscillation.
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get, ω(ωa)=60⇒ω(30)=60
⇒ ω=2rad/s
⇒ 2πT=2 rad/s ⇒T=πsec
