Ncert Exercises & Solutions

A particle executing SHM has a maximum speed of \(30\) cm/s and a maximum acceleration of \(60\) cm/s². The period of oscillation is:
1. \(\pi \) s
2. \(\dfrac{\pi }{2}\) s
3. \(2\pi\) s
4. \(\dfrac{\pi }{4}\) s

(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

ω t

v = \frac{d y}{d t} = a ω \cos ω t

\Rightarrow {(v)}_{m a x} = a ω = a ω = 30 . . . (i)

Step 2: Find the maximum acceleration.

Acceleration, (A)

= \frac{d x^{2}}{d t^{2}} = - a ω^{2} \sin ω t

A_{m a x} = ω^{2} a = 60 . . . (i i)

Step 3: Find the period of the oscillation.

From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get,

ω (ω a) = 60 \Rightarrow ω (30) = 60

\Rightarrow ω = 2 r a d / s

\Rightarrow \frac{2 π}{T} = 2 r a d / s \Rightarrow T = π s e c
