A body performs simple harmonic motion about x=0x=0 with an amplitude aa and a time period TT. The speed of the body at x=a2x=\frac{a}{2} will be:

A

πa32T\frac{\pi a\sqrt{3}}{2T}

B

πaT\frac{\pi a}{T}

C

3πaT\frac{3\pi a}{T}

D

πa3T\frac{\pi a\sqrt{3}}{T}

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Identify Formulas: The speed vv of a particle in SHM is given by v=ωA2x2v = \omega \sqrt{A^2 - x^2}, where AA is the amplitude and xx is the displacement . The angular frequency ω\omega is related to the time period TT by ω=2πT\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} .
  2. Substitute Values:
  • Amplitude A=aA = a
  • Displacement x=a2x = \frac{a}{2}
  • ω=2πT\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}
  1. Calculate Speed: v=2πTa2(a2)2v = \frac{2\pi}{T} \sqrt{a^2 - \left(\frac{a}{2}\right)^2} v=2πTa2a24v = \frac{2\pi}{T} \sqrt{a^2 - \frac{a^2}{4}} v=2πT3a24v = \frac{2\pi}{T} \sqrt{\frac{3a^2}{4}} v=2πTa32v = \frac{2\pi}{T} \cdot \frac{a\sqrt{3}}{2} v=πa3Tv = \frac{\pi a\sqrt{3}}{T}
