The kinetic energy of a particle executing S.H.M. is 16 J when it is in its mean position. If the amplitude of oscillations is 25 cm and the mass of the particle is 5.12 kg, the time period of its oscillation is
[Haryana CEE 1996; AFMC 1998]
At mean position , the kinetic energy is maximum.
Hence 12ma2ω2=16
On putting the values we get
ω=10⇒T=2πω=π5 sec
