Question

An object executing SHM has an acceleration of 0.2m/s2 at a distance of 0.05m from the mean position. Calculate the period of SHM.

Easy
Solution

a = 0.2m/sec2, T = ?

y = 0.05m

\large a\, = \,{\omega ^2}y\, \Rightarrow \,{\omega ^2}\, = \,\frac{{0.2}}{{0.05}}\, = \,\frac{{20}}{5} = 4\, \Rightarrow \,\omega \, = \,2rad/s

\large \frac{{2\pi }}{T}\, = \,2\, \Rightarrow \,\pi \, = \,T\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,T\, = \,3.142\sec
