Detailed Solution

Let displacement equation of an oscillator be y=Asinωt, here ω is angular velocity, A is Amplitude. differentiate y with respect to time t, to get velocity v=dydt=A(cosωt)ω KE=12mv2 PE=122y2     Substitute displacement and velocity in PE, KE and take ratio, KEPE=122A2cos2ωt122A2sin2ωt KEPE=cot2ωt, by the question ω=π90 at time  t = 30 KEPE=cot2π90×30=cot2π3=13
