Solution

The correct option is C 32π Hz
Given:
Amplitude of the oscillation, A=2 cm
Displacement of the particle from mean position, r=1 cm
It is given that when displacement of the particle from mean position is 1 cm, the magnitude of acceleration is equal to the magnitude of velocity of the particle.
a=v
ω2x=ωA2x2
ω(ωxA2x2)=0
ω=0 or ω=A2x2x
Angular frequency cannot be zero.
So, ω=A2x2x=22121=3 rad/s
Hence, the frequency of oscillation,
f=ω2π
f=32π Hz
