Q.
The equation of motion of a particle executing SHM is, α+16π2x=0. In this equation α is the linear acceleration in m/s2, of the particle at a displacement x metre. The time period of SHM, in second, is:
The equation of motion and particles executing SHM is given by α+16π2x=0α=−16π2x But from the relation in SHM, acceleration is given by α=−ω2x So, −ω2x=−16π2x or ω=4π(∵ω=2Tπ) or T2π=4π Hence, T=21s
