The acceleration of a particle executing SHM is

  1. A always zero
  2. B always constant
  3. C maximum at the extreme position
  4. D maximum at the equilibrium position
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) maximum at the extreme position

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The acceleration of the particle executing SHM is given as \[ \alpha=-\omega^2 y \Rightarrow \alpha \propto y \] Since, maximum value of displacement \(y\) from mean position is equal to amplitude \(a\). Hence, acceleration of a particle executing SHM is maximum at extreme…
