Q.

A particle executes simple harmonic motion between x=-A and x=+A. If the time taken by A the particle to go from x=0 to A2 is 2 s, then the time A taken by the particle in going from x=A2 to A is                                   [2023]

1 1.5 s  
2 3 s  
3 4 s  
4 2 s  

Ans.

(3)

Let time from 0 to A2 is t1 and from A2 to A is t2

Then ωt1=π6, ωt2=π3

t1t2=12, t2=2t1=2×2=4 sec
