JEE MAIN - Physics (2016 (Offline) - No. 17)

A particle performs simple harmonic motion with amplitude $$A.$$ Its speed is trebled at the instant that it is at a distance $${{2A} \over 3}$$ from equilibrium position. The new amplitude of the motion is:
$$A\sqrt 3 $$
$${{7A} \over 3}$$
$${A \over 3}\sqrt {41} $$
$$3A$$

Explanation

We know that $$V = \omega \sqrt {{A^2} - {x^2}} $$

Initially $$v = \omega \sqrt {{A^2} - {{\left( {{{2A} \over 3}} \right)}^2}} $$

Finally $$3v = \omega \sqrt {A_{new}^2 - {{\left( {{{2A} \over 3}} \right)}^2}} $$

where $${A_{new}}$$ = final amplitude (Given at $$x = {{2A} \over 3},$$ velocity to trebled)

On dividing we get $${3 \over 1} = {{\sqrt {A_{new}^2 - {{\left( {{{2A} \over 3}} \right)}^2}} } \over {\sqrt {{A^2} - {{\left( {{{2A} \over 3}} \right)}^2}} }}$$

$$9\left[ {{A^2} - {{4{A^2}} \over 9}} \right] = A_{new}^2 - {{4{A^2}} \over 9}$$

$$\therefore$$ $$A_{new} = {{7A} \over 3}$$
