Solution
Differential equation of SHM
∴ `(d^2x)/(dt^2) + omega^2.x = 0` ............(i)
(a) Obtaining expression for acceleration:
`(d^2x)/(dt^2) = -omega^2.x` ........[From (i)]
But `a = (d^2x)/(dt^2)` is the acceleration of the particle performing SHM.
∴ a = `-omega^2.x`
This is the expression for acceleration.
(b) Obtaining expression for velocity:
`(d^2x)/(dt^2) = -omega^2.x` ..............[From (i)]
∴ `d/dt((dx)/(dt)) = -omega^2.x`
∴ `(d"v")/(dt) = -omega^2.x`
∴ `(d"v")/(dx)(dx)/(dt) = -omega^2.x`
∴ v`(d"v")/(dx) = -omega^2.x`
∴ v.dv = -ω2.x.dx
Integrating both sides, we get
`int"v".d"v" = -omega^2intx.dx`
∴ `"v"^2/2 = -omega^2.x^2/2 + C` ...........(iii)
Where C is the constant of integration.
Let A be the maximum displacement (amplitude) of the particle in SHM.
When the particle is at an extreme position, velocity (v) is zero,
Thus, at x = ±A, v = 0,
Substituting v = 0 and x = ±A in equation (ii), we get
∴ `0 = -omega^2. A^2/2 + C`
∴ C = `omega^2.A^2/2`
Using the value of C in equation (ii), we get
∴ `"v"^2/2 = -omega^2.x^2/2 + omega^2.A^2/2`
∴ `"v"^2 = omega^2(A^2 - x^2)`
∴ v = `±omegasqrt(A^2 - x^2)`
This is the expression for velocity.
