A particle in S.H.M. is described by the displacement function x(t)=acos(ωt+θ) . If the initial (t=0) position of the particle is 1 cm and its initial velocity is πcm/s . The angular frequency of the particle is πrad/s, then it’s amplitude is 

a
1 cm
b
2 cm
c
2 cm
d
2.5 cm

detailed solution

Correct option is B

x=acos(ω t+θ)                                  ….(i)and  v=dxdt=−aωsin(ω t+θ)          ….(ii)Given at t=0, x=1 cm and  v=π and ω=πPutting these values in equation (i) and (ii) we will get sinθ=−1a and  cosθ=1a⇒sin2θ+cos2θ=−1a2+1a2 ⇒a=2 cm
