Simple hormonic motion
Question

The angular velocity and amplitude of a simple pendulum are ‘ω’ and A respectively. At a displacement ‘x’. If its KE is ‘T’ and PE is ‘U’ then the ratio of 'T' to ‘U’ is    

Easy
Solution

\large K.E\, = \,\frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}\left( {{A^2} - {x^2}} \right)\, = \,T;

\large P.E\, = \,\frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}{x^2} = \,U;

\large \frac{T}{U}\, = \,\frac{{\frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}\left( {{A^2} - {x^2}} \right)}}{{\frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}{x^2}}}\, = \,\frac{{{A^2} - {x^2}}}{{{x^2}}}
