The motion of a particle is described by the equation \(a=-b x\) where ' \(a\) ' is the acceleration, x is the displacement from the equilibrium position and b is a constant. The periodic time will be

  1. A \(\frac{2 \pi}{\mathrm{~b}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2 \pi}{\sqrt{\mathrm{~b}}}\)
  3. C \(2 \pi \sqrt{b}\)
  4. D \(2 \sqrt{\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{~b}}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{2 \pi}{\sqrt{\mathrm{~b}}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}
& \text {Given, } a=-b x \\
& \text {But }, a=-\omega^2 x \\
& \therefore \quad \omega=\sqrt{b} \quad ...(i)\\
& \quad T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega} \\
&=\frac{2 \pi}{\sqrt{b}}
\end{aligned}\)
