Detailed Solution
The current displacement is 32times the amplitude,i.e. y=32AWe know that, potential energy of 11 body in SHM is given by U=12mω2y2where, m and ω are constants. U=12mω232A2=12mω2×3A24 …(i)Similarly, kinetic energy of a body it SHM is given by K=12mω2A2-y2 =12mω2A2-3A24=12mω2A24 …(ii)So, the ratio of PE and KE, PE : KE=12mω2×3A24 : 12mω2A24=3 : 1
