Question

For the block under SHM shown in the figure, which of the following quantities varies sinusoidally with time?

• A. Amplitude
• B. Frequency
• C. Period
• D. Position of block
• E. Total mechanical energy of the block

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Position of block

For a SHM, the position of block at time is given by , $y=Asin(wt+\varphi )$

From this we can simply say that the position of block will vary sinusoidally with time t.
