In case of a simple harmonic motion, if the velocity is plotted along the X-axis and the displacement (from the equilibrium position) is plotted along the Y-axis, the resultant curve happens to be an ellipse with the ratio =("major axis along X")/("minor axis along Y") = 20 pi What is the frequency of the simple harmonic motion?

Answer»

100 Hz
20 Hz
10 Hz
`1/10 Hz`

Solution :As the resultant curve is ellipse then equation for S.H.M. is

`V^(2)/(OQ)^(2) + X^(2)/(OP)^(2) =1`…………..(i)
Now, `OQ = AOMEGA[therefore v = ROMEGA = aomega]` and OP =a, where `omega` = angular velocity
From eqn. (i) `v^(2)/(a^(2)omega^(2)) + x^(2)/a^(2) =1`
Thus, major AXIS, `=2 xx aomega = 2aomega`, minor axis = 2a
Given, that `("major axis along X")/("minor axis along Y") = 20pi, therefore (2aomega)/(2a) = 20pi`
`f= 10Hz`
