particle moves with simple harmonic motion in a straight line. In first \(\tau\ s\), after starting from rest it travels a distance \(a\), and in next \(\tau\ s\) it travels \(2a\), in same direction, then

  1. A time period of oscillations is \(8\tau\)
  2. B time period of oscillations is \(6\tau\)
  3. C amplitude of motion is \(4a\)
  4. D amplitude of motion is \(3a\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) time period of oscillations is \(6\tau\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In simple harmonic motion, starting from rest, At \(t=0, x=A\) \(x= Acos\omega t\) \(...(i)\) \( When\,\,\, t=\tau, x=A-a\) When \(t=2 \tau, x=A-3 a\) From equation \(( i )\) \(A-a=A \cos \omega \tau\) \(...(ii)\) \(A-3 a=A \cos 2 \omega \tau\) \(...(iii)\) As…
