A particle executes simple harmonic motion between x=-A and x=+A. If it takes a time T1 to g0 from x=0 to x=A/2 and T2 to go from x=A/2 to x=A. Then
  1. T1<T2
  2. T1>T2
  3. T1=T2
  4. T1=2T2

Solution

Equation of SHM x=asinωt

at x=0 ; to=0

at 

x=A2from equation A2=asin2πTt1t1=T12

at x=A

from equation 

 A=asin2πTt1t1=T4

so time from x=0 to x=A2

T1=t1-to=T12

and time from x=A2 to x=A

T2=t2-t1=T4-T12=T6

so T1<T2
