The magnitude of maximum acceleration is $\pi$ times that of maximum velocity of a simple harmonic oscillator. The time period of the oscillator in seconds is
  1. $4$
  2. $2$
  3. $1$
  4. $0.5$

Solution

Maximum acceleration $=$ Maximum velocity $\times \pi$ ie, $\omega^2 A=\pi \omega A$ where $A$ is amplitude and $\omega$ is angular velocity. $\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad \omega=\pi \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{2 \pi}{T}=\pi \Rightarrow T=2 \mathrm{~s} \\ & \end{aligned}$
