Solution

The correct option is

B

y=12


Given,

Total energy E=12m(ωa)2

Kinetic energy =12mω2a2y2

Potential energy =12mω2y2

Since its kinetic energy =34E,

Then the potential energy will be equal to Toatl energy - Kinetic energy =E4 at that instant

Now we can write,


12mω2y212mω2a2=14

After solving

y2=14a2;y=a2

Hence, displacement y is equal to a2
