Question
Values of the acceleration 
of a particle moving in simple harmonic motion as a function of its displacement x are given the table below.
The period of the motion is
of a particle moving in simple harmonic motion as a function of its displacement x are given the table below.The period of the motion is
Options
A.
s
sB.
s
sC.
s
sD.πs
Solution
In SHM a = - ω2x. So 16 = - ω2 (-4) ⇒ ω = 2 ⇒ Timed portion T = 
= πs
= πsCreate a free account to view solution
