At a given point of time the value of displacement of a simple harmonic oscillator is given as \(y = A \cos \left(30^{\circ}\right)\). If amplitude is \(40\,cm\) and kinetic energy at that time is \(200\, J\), the value of force constant is \(1.0 \times 10^{ x }\,Nm ^{-1}\). The value of \(x\) is ......

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

General equation for displacement is given by

\(x=A \sin (\omega t+\phi)\)

\(\text { at given time }\)

\(\Rightarrow \omega t+\phi=30^{\circ}\)

\(\Rightarrow x=40 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \Rightarrow 20 \sqrt{3}\,cm\)

\(\Rightarrow A=40\,cm\)

\(\Rightarrow K . E=\frac{1}{2} k\left(A^2-x^2\right)=200\)

\(200=\frac{1}{2} k\left(\frac{1600-1200}{100 \times 100}\right)\)

\(400 \times 100 \times 100=k \times 400\)

\(k=10^4\)

\(x=4\)
