A particle executing SHM along a straight line has zero velocity at points \(A\) and \(B\) whose distance from \(O\) on the same line \(O A B\) are \(a\) and \(b\), respectively. If the velocity at the mid point between \(A\) and \(B\) is \(v\), then its time period is

  1. A \(\frac{\pi(b+a)}{v}\)
  2. B \(\pi\left(\frac{b-a}{v}\right)\)
  3. C \(\left(\frac{b+a}{2 v}\right)\)
  4. D \(\left(\frac{b-a}{2 v}\right)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\pi\left(\frac{b-a}{v}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the question, \(\therefore\) Amplitude \(=\frac{\text { Distance travelled by the particles }}{2}(A \text { to } B)\) Amplitude of particles executing simple harmonic motion (SHM) along a straight line \(A B\) is \((a)=\frac{b-a}{2}\). Velocity of particle, \(v=\)…
