A and B are two points on the path of a particle executing SHM in a straight line, at which its velocity is zero. Starting from a certain point X `(AXltBX)` the particle crosses this pint again at successive intervals of 2 seconds and 4 seconds with a speed of `5m//s`
Q. Amplitude of oscillation is

A

(a)`10sqrt(3)m`

B

(b)`(10)/(sqrt(3)pi)m`

C

(c)`(10sqrt(3))/(pi)m`

D

can't determined

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

The given diagram can be represented in circular motion
In shoqwn diagram `theta = ((2pi)/(6)) (2) = (2pi)/(3)`
Let `OX = x_(0)` and amplitude `= OP= A`
Now `(x_(0))/(A) = cos"(theta)/(2)` so `x_(0) = (A)/(2)`
As `v = omegasqrt(A^(2) - X_(2)^(2))` so `5 = (2pi)/(6)sqrt(A^(2) - (A^(2))/(4)) rArr A = (10sqrt(3))/(pi) m`
