A particle executes simple harmonic motion. Its instantaneous acceleration is given by `a = - px`, where `p` is a positive constant and `x` is the displacement from the mean position. Find angular frequency of oscillation.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Comparing with `a = - omega^(2)x`
`omega^(2) = p`
`:. omega = sqrt p`
