A particle is performing `S.H.M` with accerlration `a = 8 pi^(2) - 4 pi^(2) x` where `x` is coordinate of the particle `w.r.t` the origin. The parameters are in `S.I.` units. The particle is at rest at `x = -2` at `t = 0`.

A

coordinate of the particle `w.r.t` origin at any time `t` is `2-4 cos 2pit`

B

coordinate of the particle `w.r.t` origin at any time `t` is `-2+4 sin 2pit`

C

coordinate of the particle `w.r.t` origin at any time `t` is `-4+2 cos 2pit`

D

the coordinate cannot be found because mas of the particle is not given.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given acceleration equation and derive the position function of the particle performing Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM). ### Step 1: Understand the acceleration equation The acceleration of the particle is given by: \[ a = 8\pi^2 - 4\pi^2 x \] ### Step 2: Rewrite the acceleration equation We can factor out \( 4\pi^2 \) from the acceleration equation: \[ a = 4\pi^2 (2 - x) \] ### Step 3: Relate acceleration to SHM In SHM, the acceleration \( a \) can also be expressed as: \[ a = -\omega^2 x \] where \( \omega \) is the angular frequency. ### Step 4: Identify the mean position From the equation \( a = 4\pi^2 (2 - x) \), we can see that the acceleration is zero when \( x = 2 \). This indicates that \( x = 2 \) is the mean position of the SHM. ### Step 5: Determine the extreme position The particle is at rest at \( x = -2 \) at \( t = 0 \). Since it is at rest at this position, \( x = -2 \) is an extreme position of the motion. ### Step 6: Calculate the amplitude The amplitude \( A \) of the SHM can be calculated as the distance from the mean position to the extreme position: \[ A = |2 - (-2)| = 4 \] ### Step 7: Write the general equation of motion The general equation for the position \( x(t) \) in SHM can be expressed as: \[ x(t) = x_m + A \cos(\omega t + \phi) \] where \( x_m \) is the mean position, \( A \) is the amplitude, and \( \phi \) is the phase constant. ### Step 8: Substitute known values Here, \( x_m = 2 \) and \( A = 4 \). We need to determine \( \omega \) and \( \phi \). From the acceleration equation, we can find \( \omega^2 = 4\pi^2 \), thus: \[ \omega = 2\pi \] ### Step 9: Determine the phase constant \( \phi \) At \( t = 0 \), the particle is at \( x = -2 \): \[ -2 = 2 + 4 \cos(0 + \phi) \] This simplifies to: \[ -2 = 2 + 4 \cos(\phi) \] \[ -4 = 4 \cos(\phi) \] \[ \cos(\phi) = -1 \] This implies \( \phi = \pi \). ### Step 10: Write the final equation of motion Substituting \( \omega \) and \( \phi \) into the equation of motion: \[ x(t) = 2 + 4 \cos(2\pi t + \pi) \] Using the property of cosine, \( \cos(\theta + \pi) = -\cos(\theta) \): \[ x(t) = 2 - 4 \cos(2\pi t) \] ### Final Result Thus, the coordinate of the particle at any time \( t \) is: \[ x(t) = 2 - 4 \cos(2\pi t) \] ---
