  1. A \(8 \pi^2\)
  2. B \(16 \pi^2\)
  3. C \(24 \pi^2\)
  4. D \(32 \pi^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(32 \pi^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For a body performing U.C.M, \(\mathrm{a}=\omega^2 \mathrm{x}\) and
\(\begin{aligned}
& \omega=2 \pi \mathrm{f} \\
& \mathrm{x}=\frac{\mathrm{d}}{2}=.5 \mathrm{~m}
\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & a=4 \pi^2 f^2 \times .5 \Rightarrow a=4 \pi^2(4)^2 \times .5 \\ \therefore \quad & a=32 \pi^2\end{aligned}\)
