Q.

In simple harmonic motion, the total mechanical energy of a given system is E. If the mass of oscillating particle P is doubled, then the new energy of the system for same amplitude is                   [2024]

1 E2  
2 E  
3 2E  
4 E/2  

Ans.

(2)

Total energy E=KE+PE

E=12mω2(A2-x2)+12mω2x2

E=12kA2, since A is same, T.E. will be same
