A simple harmonic oscillator has an amplitude A and time period T the time required by it to travel from x=A to x=A/2 is?

Question

Eshan · Answer

Dear student, Since the particle starts from x=A, the equation of motion can be written as Hence for , Since ,

Dev Kumar · Answer

You could've been answered the question with the help of concept of phaser diagram. In this, draw a circle of radius A on a Cartesian sheet, and on y-axis mark a point A/2 on +y-axis,and at the end point of circle mark point A Particle shm => A----->A/2 ; can be considered as A/2---->A Draw a line from A/2 projecting on the circle, join the origin and projection, take angle along y-axis and mark it as μ. Now cos μ= A/2A= 1/2 => μ=π/3 We know that, μ/t= 2π/T => π/3t=2π/T => t= T/6

Kushagra Madhukar · Answer

Dear student, Please find the attached solution to your problem. Assume x = 0 as t = 0 and T be the period of SHM Time taken to travel between extreme position, x = A and initial position, x = 0 is T/4 Now, x = A sin(2 π/T * t) A/2 = A sin(2π/T * t) or, t = T/12 Hence, time taken to reach x = A/2 from x = A is T/4 – T/12 = T/6 Hope it helps Thanks and regards, Kushagra
