Simple hormonic motion

Question

An object of mass 4 kg is moving along X-axis and its potential energy as a function of x can be expressed as U(x) = 4 (1- cos 2x) joule then time period for small oscillations is:

Moderate

A

$\frac{π}{2} \sec$
B

$\frac{π}{4} \sec$
C

$π \sec$
D

$\frac{3 π}{2} \sec$

Solution

$F = \frac{- dU}{dx} = - 4 \times 2 \sin 2 x For small oscillations, \sin 2 x \approx 2 x F = - 16 x \Rightarrow a = \frac{F}{m} = - 4 x ω^{2} = 4 \Rightarrow T = π \sec$
