The kinetic energy of a particle executing simple harmonic motion at a displacement of 3 cm from the mean position is 4 mJ. If the amplitude of the particle is 5 cm, then the maximum force acting on the particle is

  1. A 0.25 N
  2. B 0.50 N
  3. C 0.75 N
  4. D 1.25 N
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 0.25 N

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( K = \frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 (A^2 - x^2) \) \( 4 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 ((0.05)^2 - (0.03)^2) \) \( m \omega^2 = \frac{2 \times 4 \times 10^{-3}}{(0.05)^2 - (0.03)^2} = \frac{8 \times 10^{-3}}{0.0016} = 5 \, \text{N/m} \) \( F_{max} = m \omega^2 A \)…
