A particle performs simple harmonic motion with a period of 2 second. The time taken by the particle to cover a displacement equal to half of its amplitude from the mean position is 1as. The value of a to the nearest integer is.

Solution
Time period (T)=2s
Assume particle starts from its mean position (t=0,x=0), so its equation, x=Asin(ωt)
Let particle takes time t1 to move from mean position to half of its amplitude. A2=Asin(2πT)t
