A particle executes S.H.M. of period $\frac{2 \pi}{\sqrt{3}} \sec$ along a straight line $4 \mathrm{~cm}$ long. The displacement of the particle at which the velocity is numerically equal to the acceleration is
  1. $2 \mathrm{~cm}$
  2. $1 \mathrm{~cm}$
  3. $4 \mathrm{~cm}$
  4. $3 \mathrm{~cm}$

Solution

Acceleration, $a=\omega^2 x$ Velocity, $v=\omega \sqrt{A^2-x^2}$ $\begin{aligned} & \omega^2 \mathrm{x}=\omega \sqrt{\mathrm{A}^2-\mathrm{x}^2} \\ & \omega^2 \mathrm{x}^2=\mathrm{A}^2-\mathrm{x}^2 \\ & 3 \mathrm{x}^2=\mathrm{A}^2-\mathrm{x}^2 \quad\left(\therefore \omega=\frac{2 \pi}{\mathrm{T}}=\sqrt{3}\right) \\ & 4 \mathrm{x}^2=\mathrm{A}^2 \\ & \mathrm{x}=\frac{\mathrm{A}}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1 \mathrm{~cm} \end{aligned}$
