The periodic time of a particle doing simple hormonic motion is \(4 \mathrm{~s}\). The time taken by it to go from its mean position to half the maximum displacement (amplitude) is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{1}{3} s\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(y=A \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi}{T}\right) t\)
\(
\begin{array}{ll}
\Rightarrow & \frac{A}{2}=A \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi}{4}\right) t \\
\Rightarrow & \frac{\pi t}{2}=\frac{\pi}{6} \\
\Rightarrow & t=\frac{1}{3} \mathrm{~s}
\end{array}
