  1. A \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{32} \pi^2 \mathrm{cms}^{-2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{-\pi^2}{32} \mathrm{cms}^{-2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\pi^2}{32} \mathrm{cms}^{-2}\)
  4. D \(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{32} \pi^2 \mathrm{cms}^{-2}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{32} \pi^2 \mathrm{cms}^{-2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(T=8 \mathrm{~s}, \omega=\frac{2 \pi}{T}=\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \operatorname{rads}^{-1}\)
\(x =A \sin \omega t\)
\(\therefore a=-\omega^2 x =-\left(\frac{\pi^2}{16}\right) \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{4} t\right)\)
Substituting \(t=\frac{4}{3} \mathrm{~s}\), we get
\(
a=-\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{32} \pi^2\right) \mathrm{cms}^{-2}
\)
