Question

How much time does a particle at \( x = C \) take to go from the mean position to the extreme (maximum displacement) for the first time?

• A. \( T/2 \)
• B. \( T/4 \)
• C. \( T/3 \)
• D. \( T \)

Hint:

In simple harmonic motion, the particle takes \( T/4 \) time to move from the mean position to the extreme position for the first time.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In simple harmonic motion, movement from the mean position to an extreme position for the first time requires \( T/4 \) time. This duration represents one-quarter of the total time period \( T \) for a complete oscillation.
