Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2022

The displacement of simple harmonic oscillator after 3 seconds starting from its mean position is equal to half of its amplitude. The time period of harmonic motion is :

  1. A 6 s
  2. B 8 s
  3. C 12 s
  4. D 36 s Correct answer

Solution

<p>Time taken by the harmonic oscillator to move from mean position to half of amplitude is ${T \over {12}}$</p> <p>So, ${T \over {12}}$ = 3</p> <p>T = 36 sec.</p>
