A particle performs SHM of amplitude 10 cm. Its maximum velocity during oscillations is 100 cm/s. What is its displacement, when the velocity is 60 cm/s?

Answer»

Data : A = 10 cm, vmax = 100 cm/s, v = 60 cm/s

vmax = ωA = 100 cm/s

\(\therefore\) ω = \(\frac{v_{max}}A\) = \(\frac{100}{10}\) = 10 rad/s

Let x be the displacement when the velocity is 

v = 60 cm/s. Then,

v = ω \(\sqrt{A^2-x^2}\)

\(\therefore\) 60 = 10 \(\sqrt{100-x^2}\)

\(\therefore\) 6 = \(\sqrt{A^2-x^2}\)

\(\therefore\) 36 = 100 - x2

\(\therefore\) x2 = 64

\(\therefore\) x = ± 8 cm
