Question

The force on a body executing SHM is 2 N when the displacement is 2 cms if the amplitude of oscillations is 5 cm. What is the total energy associated with the SHM?

Moderate
Solution

Total EnergyTE of oscillator is               TE=122A2,                k=2                F=kx=mω2x           2=F/x substitute in TE,             TE=12FxA2 Substitute the given values            TE=1222×102×5×1022           TE=12×1102×25×104           TE=1250×10-4          TE=0.125 or 12.5×102J
