Question

A body executing SHM has a maximum acceleration equal to 48 m/sec2 and maximum velocity equal to 12 m/sec. The amplitude of SHM is

Moderate
Solution

given maximum acceleration amax=48m/s2

Maximum velocity  Vmax=12m/s
amplitude A=? here angular velocity =ω
amaxVmax=ω2AωA=4812=4
=> ω=4 
Vmax=ωA

substitute maximum velocity, and angular velocity
12=4(A)
A=3m.
