The motion of a particle of mass m is given by x=0 for `t lt 0` s, x (t) = `A sin 4pit for 0 lt t(1//4) s (A gt 0)` and x=0 for `t gt (1//4)` s Which of the following statement(s) is (are) true?A. The force at `t=(1//8)` s on particle is `-16pi^(2)` A-mB. The particle is acted upon by an impulse of magnitude `(4pi^(2) A-m)` at t=0 s and `t=(1//4)` s.C. The particle is not acted upon by any forceD. The particle is not acted upon by a constant force

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::D
For `0 lt t lt 1/4`
`x=Asin 4pit`
`v=(dx)/(dt)=4piA cos4pit`
`a=(dv)/(dt)=16pi^(2)A sin 4pit`
At `t=1/8 s`
`a=-16pi^(2)A sin4pixx1/8=-16pi^(2)A`
`F=ma=-16pi^(2)A-m`
Impulse = change in linear momentum
`=Fxxt=-16pi^(2)A-mxx1/4=-4pi^(2)A-m`
Impulse or change in linear momentum is the same at t=0 or `1/4` s
Force F depends upon A which is not constant therefore particle is not acted upon by a constant force.
