Correct answer: 18

  1. For a simple harmonic oscillator of amplitude AAA, the total energy is E=12kA2.E = \frac{1}{2}kA^2.E=21​kA2.

  2. When the displacement is x=A3x = \frac{A}{3}x=3A​, the potential energy is U=12kx2=12k(A3)2=118kA2.U = \frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}k\left(\frac{A}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{18}kA^2.U=21​kx2=21​k(3A​)2=181​kA2.

  3. Hence the kinetic energy is

Taking LCM, K=(918−118)kA2=818kA2=49⋅12kA2.K = \left(\frac{9}{18}-\frac{1}{18}\right)kA^2 = \frac{8}{18}kA^2 = \frac{4}{9}\cdot \frac{1}{2}kA^2.K=(189​−181​)kA2=188​kA2=94​⋅21​kA2. So, K=49E.K = \frac{4}{9}E.K=94​E.

  1. Therefore, EK=E(4/9)E=94.\frac{E}{K} = \frac{E}{(4/9)E} = \frac{9}{4}.KE​=(4/9)EE​=49​.

  2. Given that EK=x8,\frac{E}{K} = \frac{x}{8},KE​=8x​, we get x8=94.\frac{x}{8} = \frac{9}{4}.8x​=49​. So, x=8⋅94=18.x = 8\cdot \frac{9}{4} = 18.x=8⋅49​=18.

Therefore, the required integer is 18.\boxed{18}.18​.
