36. (AIEEE 2005)

If a simple harmonic motion is represented by d 2 x d t 2 + α x = 0. its time period is :

A. 2 π α

B. 2 π α

C. 2 π α

D. 2 π α

Correct Answer is Option (A)

d 2 x d t 2 = α x = ω 2 x

ω = α or T = 2 π ω = 2 π α

A particle of mass m is attached to a spring (of spring constant k ) and has a natural angular frequency ω 0 . An external force F ( t ) proportional to cos ω t ( ω ω 0 ) is applied to the oscillator. The time displacement of the oscillator will be proportional to

A. 1 m ( ω 0 2 + ω 2 )

B. 1 m ( ω 0 2 ω 2 )

C. m ω 0 2 ω 2

D. m ω 0 2 + ω 2

Correct Answer is Option (B)

Given that, initial angular velocity = ω 0

and at any instant time t, angular velocity = ω

So when displacement is x then the resultant acceleration

f = ( ω 0 2 ω 2 ) x

So the external force, F = m ( ω 0 2 ω 2 ) x ............(i)

But given that F cos ω t

From (i) we get,

m ( ω 0 2 ω 2 ) x cos ω t .........(ii)

From equation of SHM we know,

x = A sin ( ω t + ϕ )

When t = 0 then x = A

A = A sin ( ϕ )

A = π 2

x = A sin ( ω t + π 2 ) = A cos ω t

Putting value of x in (ii), we get

m ( ω 0 2 ω 2 ) A cos ω t cos ω t

A 1 m ( ω 0 2 ω 2 )

The displacement of particle varies according to the relation
x = 4 ( cos π t + sin π t ) . The amplitude of the particle is :

A. -4

B. 4

C. 4 2

D. 8

Correct Answer is Option (C)

x = 4 ( cos π t + sin π t )

= 2 × 4 ( sin π t 2 + cos π t 2 )

x = 4 2 sin ( π t + 45 )
