Question

A particle execute simple harmonic motion between x = - A and x = + A. he time taken for it go to O to is T1 and go from to A is, then

Options

A.T1 < T2
B.T1 > T2
C.T1 = T2
D.T1 = 2T2

Solution

In SHM, velocity of particle also oscillates simple harmonically. Speed is more near the mean position and less near the extreme position. Therefore, the time taken for the particle to go it from O to will be less than the time taken to go it from to A, or T1 < T2.
Note : From the equation of SHM we can show that
                t1 = TO - A/2 = T/12
and         t2 = TA/2-4 = T/6
So, that   t1 + t2 = TO - A = T/4
