A particle is performing simple harmonic motion. Equation of its motion is x= 5 sin 4t-π6,xbeing the displacement from mean position. Velocity (in ms-1)of the particle at the instant when its displacement is 3, will be:

A
$\frac{2 π}{3}$
B
$\frac{5 π}{6}$
C
20
D
16

Solution:

$x = 5 \sin (4 t - \frac{π}{6})$
When $x = 3 \Rightarrow \frac{3}{5} = \sin (4 t - \frac{π}{6}) \Rightarrow (4 t - \frac{π}{6}) = 37^{o} velocity = \frac{dx}{dt} = 5 \times 4 \cos (4 t - \frac{π}{6}) = 5 \times 4 \times \cos 37^{o} = 16 {ms}^{- 1}$
