A particle executes linear simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 3 cm. When the particle is at 2 cm from the mean position, the magnitude of its velocity is equal to that of its acceleration. Then its time period in seconds is:
To solve this problem, we need to use the equations of motion for simple harmonic motion (SHM).Given:• Amplitude cm• Displacement from mean position cmIn SHM, the velocity and acceleration are given by:According to the problem, the magnitude of velocity is equal to the magnitude of acceleration.Thus, we have:Substitute the given values:Simplify:Divide both sides by Solve for The angular frequency is related to the time period by the equation:Substitute the value of Rearrange to solve for Therefore, the time period of the particle is seconds. This corresponds to Option 2.
