The time taken by a particle executing simple harmonic motion of period $T$ to move from the mean position to half the maximum displacement is
- $\frac{T}{2} s$
- $\frac{T}{12} s$
- $\frac{T}{6} s$
- $\frac{T}{4} s$
Solution
$\begin{aligned} & x=A \sin \omega t \therefore \frac{A}{2}=A \sin \omega t \\ & \omega t=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \therefore \frac{2 \pi}{T} t=\frac{\pi}{6} \therefore t=\frac{T}{12} s\end{aligned}$
