A particle executes simple harmonic motion according to the equation \(x(t)=A \sin ^2(\alpha t)\). If the time period of the SHM is \(0.2 \mathrm{~s}\), then the value of \(\alpha\) (in units of \(\mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\) ) is

  1. A \(2 \pi\)
  2. B \(10 \pi\)
  3. C \(5 \pi\)
  4. D \(2.5 \pi\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(5 \pi\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, the equation of SHM \( \begin{aligned} x(t) & =A \sin ^2(\alpha t) \\ & =A\left[\frac{1-\cos 2 \alpha t}{2}\right]=\frac{A}{2}-\frac{A}{2} \cos 2 \alpha t \end{aligned} \) We know that, general equation of SHM is \(x=a_1+a_2 \cos \omega t\)...(i)…
