Simple Harmonic Motion question

2024 · 29 Jan · Shift 2 · Q86

JEE MainPhysicsSimple Harmonic MotionNumerical+4 / −1
A simple harmonic oscillator has an amplitude AAA and time period 6π6 \pi6π second. Assuming the oscillation starts from its mean position, the time required by it to travel from x=x=x= A to x=32x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}x=23​​ A will be πx s\frac{\pi}{x} \mathrm{~s}xπ​ s, where x=‾x=\underline{\hspace{2cm}}x=​.

Correct answer: 2

  1. Given data

    • Amplitude =A= A=A
    • Time period T=6π sT = 6\pi\,\text{s}T=6πs
    • Oscillation starts from mean position
  2. Find angular frequency ω=2πT=2π6π=13 rad/s\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} = \frac{2\pi}{6\pi} = \frac{1}{3}\,\text{rad/s}ω=T2π​=6π2π​=31​rad/s

  3. Write displacement equation

    Since the particle starts from mean position, we can write x=Asin⁡(ωt)x = A\sin(\omega t)x=Asin(ωt)

  4. Find the time when particle is at x=Ax=Ax=A Asin⁡(ωt1)=AA\sin(\omega t_1)=AAsin(ωt1​)=A sin⁡(ωt1)=1\sin(\omega t_1)=1sin(ωt1​)=1 ωt1=π2\omega t_1 = \frac{\pi}{2}ωt1​=2π​ t1=π/2ω=π/21/3=3π2t_1 = \frac{\pi/2}{\omega} = \frac{\pi/2}{1/3} = \frac{3\pi}{2}t1​=ωπ/2​=1/3π/2​=23π​

  5. Find the next time when particle is at x=32Ax=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}Ax=23​​A after reaching x=Ax=Ax=A Asin⁡(ωt2)=32AA\sin(\omega t_2)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}AAsin(ωt2​)=23​​A sin⁡(ωt2)=32\sin(\omega t_2)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}sin(ωt2​)=23​​

    The relevant solution after ωt=π2\omega t=\frac{\pi}{2}ωt=2π​ is: ωt2=2π3\omega t_2 = \frac{2\pi}{3}ωt2​=32π​

    Therefore, t2=2π/31/3=2πt_2 = \frac{2\pi/3}{1/3} = 2\pit2​=1/32π/3​=2π

  6. Required time interval Δt=t2−t1=2π−3π2=π2 s\Delta t = t_2 - t_1 = 2\pi - \frac{3\pi}{2} = \frac{\pi}{2}\,\text{s}Δt=t2​−t1​=2π−23π​=2π​s

  7. Compare with given form Δt=πx\Delta t = \frac{\pi}{x}Δt=xπ​ So, πx=π2⇒x=2\frac{\pi}{x} = \frac{\pi}{2} \Rightarrow x=2xπ​=2π​⇒x=2

  8. Final answer 2\boxed{2}2​
