The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states that "For a given simple harmonic motion, displacement (from the mean position) and acceleration have a constant ratio." In simple harmonic motion (SHM), the acceleration \( a \) is directly proportional to the displacement \( x \) from the mean position and is given by the formula: \[ a = -\omega^2 x \] where \( \omega \) is the angular frequency. From this equation, we can express the ratio of acceleration to displacement: \[ \frac{a}{x} = -\omega^2 \] This shows that the ratio \( \frac{a}{x} \) is constant, as \( \omega \) is a constant for a given SHM. Therefore, the assertion is true. ### Step 2: Understanding the Reason The reason states that \( T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{\text{displacement}}{\text{acceleration}}} \). In SHM, the period \( T \) is related to the angular frequency \( \omega \) by the formula: \[ T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} \] We can also relate \( \omega \) to displacement and acceleration. From the earlier relationship, we have: \[ \omega^2 = \frac{a}{x} \] Thus, we can write: \[ \omega = \sqrt{\frac{a}{x}} \] Substituting this into the period formula gives: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{x}{a}} \] This shows that the reason is also true and correctly explains the assertion. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer - Assertion: True - Reason: True - The reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ---
