1.(JEE Main 2024 (Online) 27th January Evening Shift)

A ball suspended by a thread swings in a vertical plane so that its magnitude of acceleration in the extreme position and lowest position are equal. The angle ( θ ) of thread deflection in the extreme position will be :

A. tan 1 ( 1 2 )

B. 2 tan 1 ( 1 2 )

C. 2 tan 1 ( 1 5 )

D. tan 1 ( 2 )

Correct answer option is (B)

JEE Main 2024 (Online) 27th January Evening Shift Physics - Simple Harmonic Motion Question 13 English Explanation

Loss in kinetic energy = Gain in potential energy

1 2 mv 2 = mg ( 1 cos θ ) v 2 = 2   g ( 1 cos θ )

Acceleration at lowest point = v 2

Acceleration at extreme point = g sin θ

 Hence,  v 2 = g sin θ sin θ = 2 ( 1 cos θ ) tan θ 2 = 1 2 θ = 2 tan 1 ( 1 2 )
