A particle performing linear S.H.M. has period 8 second. At time \(t=0\), it is in the mean position. The ratio of the distances travelled by the particle in the \(1^{\text {st }}\) and \(2^{\text {nd }}\) second is \(\left(\cos 45^{\circ}=1 / \sqrt{2}\right)\)

  1. A \(1:(\sqrt{2}-1)\)
  2. B \(1: 2\)
  3. C \(2: 1\)
  4. D \(1:(\sqrt{2}+1)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1:(\sqrt{2}-1)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} = \frac{2\pi}{8} = \frac{\pi}{4}\) \(x(t) = A \sin(\omega t)\)
