An object of mass 10g executes SHM along the \(x\)-axis with frequency of \(\left(\dfrac{10}{\pi}\right)\)Hz. At the point \(x = 2\ cm\) the object has KE 1.2 J and PE 0.4 J. The amplitude of oscillation is

  1. A \(8\ \text{cm}\)
  2. B \(6\ \text{cm}\)
  3. C \(2\ \text{cm}\)
  4. D \(4\ \text{cm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(4\ \text{cm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, Kinetic Energy (\(KE\)) = \(1.2\) J and Potential Energy (\(PE\)) = \(0.4\) J at displacement \(x = 2\) cm. The total energy (\(E\)) of the object executing SHM is the sum of its kinetic and potential energies: \(E = KE + PE = 1.2 + 0.4 = 1.6\) J In simple harmonic…
