The displacement of a particle in simple harmonic motion (SHM) is given by 
. What will be the displacement of the particle from the mean position, when its kinetic energy is eight times that of its potential energy?
A
.
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Let displacement be 
from mean position:
Then 
is given by 
As kinetic energy 
potential energy (PE)
Here, 
is propagation constant, 
is amplitude and 
is wave displacement.
Therefore,
