Question

The maximum displacement of a body from its mean position is called __________ (Fill in the blank)

Answer 1

---Amplitude---

Amplitude is that physical quantity which shows aboit maximum displacement of any vibrating body from its mean position or equilibrium position.

SI unit of amplitude is "metre".

Answer 2

Answer:

The "maximum displacement of a body" from its mean position is called 'amplitude'.

Explanation:

• Amplitude of a moving body is said to be the maximum distance or displacement moved by some point from its mean or equilibrium position.
• Amplitude will be "equal to half the length" of its vibrating path.
• Simply put, amplitude defines the “magnitude of maximum displacement of the body from its mean position”.
• Amplitude is used to refer to "the magnitude of oscillation" of a vibrating body and is represented as instantaneous or peak values.
