then value of angular frequency is
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Let's use the known relationship between acceleration, a, and displacement, x, of a simple harmonic mass.
a(x)=−ω2xa(x)=−ω2x
Where ωω is the angular frequency of the oscillation and the negative sign shows that the mass is always accelerated towards the centre of oscillation (for a pendulum, this is caused by gravity).
Now we just substitute in your values and see if we can find the angular frequency.
I'm assuming, since you omitted a minus sign in your acceleration or displacement that the mass is at a positive displacement ofx=4cmx=4cmwith a negative acceleration of a=−64cms−2.a=−64cms−2.
Therefore:
a(4)=−ω2×4=−64a(4)=−ω2×4=−64
This implies:
ω=4rads/sω=4rads/s
Now,
ω=2πTω=2π
WhereTT is the time period we're looking for.
Therefore, the time period is:
T=2πω=π

sT=2πω=π

s
This is approximately a period of 1.57 seconds.
As a side note, the time period of oscillation is independent of starting displacement. It is related to the restoring force of the oscillation and/or the mass oscillating.
For instance, for a simple pendulum, the time period is given by:
T=2πlg−−√T=2πlg
Hence, Option A is correct.

Now,

WhereTT is the time period we're looking for.
Therefore, the time period is:
T=2πω=π²sT=2πω=π²s
This is approximately a period of 1.57 seconds.

For instance, for a simple pendulum, the time period is given by:
T=2πlg− −√T=2πlg
Hence, correct answer is 2
