The x-t graph of a particle performing simple harmonic motion is shown in the figure. The acceleration of the particle at t = 2 s is : [figure]
- - 28 m s-2
- 216 m s-2
- - 216 m s-2
- 28 m s-2
Answer
(3) - 216 m s-2
Solution
From the graph: amplitude A = 1 m, time period T = 8 s
= 2 T = 4 rad s-1
x = A t at t = 2 s, x = 2 = 1 m
a = - 2 x
= - 216 1
= - 216 m s-2
Answer: (3)
