Detailed Solution
The equation resembles equation for velocity n SHM.Comparing with equation of SHM, v2=A2ω2−x2ω2 we get, ω=3, A=4 .T=2πω=2π3 unitMaximum displacement = A = 4 unit. Hence option (B) is wronga=ω2x=9(3)=27 unit. Hence option (C) is wrongDifferentiating v2=144−9x2, we get a α−x . This makes it simple harmonic motion. Hence option (D) is wrong.
