Starting from the mean position a body oscillates simple harmonically with a period of 2 s. After what time will its kinetic energy be 75% of the total energy ?
(16)s
we know that KE=12mω2A2 cos2 ωt and TE=12mω2A2
Give that 12mω2A2 cos2 ωt=0.75×12mω2 A2 or cos ωt=√32 or ωt=cos−1√32=π6 or
Since T= 2 second,
2πTt=π6
t=16 second
