A particle moves such that its acceleration a is given by a = -bx , where x is the displacement from equilibrium positionand is a constant. The period of oscillation is

A

`2pi//b`

B

`2pi//sqrt(b)`

C

`sqrt(2pi//b)`

D

`2sqrt(pi//b)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`T=2pi sqrt(("displacement")/("acceleration"))=2pi sqrt((x)/(bx))=2pi//sqrt(b)`
