A particle is executing simple harmonic motion with time period 2 s and amplitude 1 cm. If D and d are the total distance and displacement covered by the particle in 12.5 s , then $\frac{\mathrm{D}}{\mathrm{d}}$ is
  1. $\frac{16}{5}$
  2. $10$
  3. $\frac{15}{4}$
  4. $25$

Solution

A = 1 cm

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{n}=\frac{12.5}{2}=6.25 \text { cycles } \\ & \therefore \mathrm{D}=4 \times 6+1=25 \\ & \mathrm{~d}=1 \\ & \frac{D}{d}=25\end{aligned}$
