The correct answer is: 2π3s
In linear simple harmonic motion, the velocity of particle is given by
v=ωA2-x2 … (i)
where, ω = angular frequency
A = maximum displacement of amplitude
and x= displacement from mean position.
The acceleration of a particle in simple harmonic motion, (SHM) is given by
a=ω2x …. (ii)
Here, x=A2
Also, v=a (given)
ωA2-x2=ω2x [from Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get]
A2-A24=ω×A23A2=ω×A2
2πT=3ω=2πT
T=2π3s
