Sol. Given that, at a particular instant, X = 2cm = 0.02m V = 1 m/sec A = 10 msec–2 We know that a = ω2x ⇒ ω = √(a/×) = √(10/0.02) = √500 = 10√5 T = 2π/ω = 2π/10√5 = 2 × 3.14/10 × 2.236 = 0.28 seconds. Again, amplitude r is given by v = ω (√(r^2-X^2 )) ⇒ v2 = ω2 (r2 – x2) 1 = 500 (r2 – 0.0004) ⇒ r = 0.0489 = 0.049 m ∴ r = 4.9 cm.
