Q.

A particle performs simple harmonic motion with amplitude A. Its speed is increased to three times at an instant when its displacement is 2A/3. The new amplitude of motion is nA/3. The value of n is ______ .           [2024]


Ans.

(7)      v=ωA2-x2

           at x=2A3

           v=ωA2-(2A3)2=5Aω3 

            New amplitude = A'

            V'=3v=5Aω=ω(A')2-(2A3)2

            A'=7A3
