A particle executes a simple harmonic motion of time period \(T\). Find the time taken by the particle to go directly from its mean position to half the amplitude

  1. A \(T / 2\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{T} / 4\)
  3. C \(T / 8\)
  4. D \(T / 12\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(T / 12\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(y=a \sin \omega t=\frac{a \sin 2 \pi}{T} t\)
At the mean position \(y=\frac{a}{2}\)
\(
\begin{array}{l}
\frac{a}{2}=\frac{a \sin 2 \pi t}{T} \\
t=\frac{T}{12}
\end{array}
