For the simple harmonic motion equation d = 5sin(2pi t), what is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position?

Verified Answer :

The max displacement is the amplitude that is 5

Answer:

d=\(5\)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given simple harmonic motion equation is given as:

d=\(5sin(2{\pi}t)\)

Differentiating the above equation with respect to t, we have

\(d'=5cos(2{\pi}t)(2{\pi)\)

\(d'=10{\pi}cos(2{\pi}t)\)

Now, equating \(d'=0\), we have

\(10{\pi}cos2{\pi}t=0\)

\(cos2{\pi}t=0\)

\(2{\pi}t=\frac{{\pi}}{2}\)

\(t=\frac{1}{4}\)

Also, differentiating again with respect to t, we get

\(d''=10{\pi}(-sin(2{\pi}t)(2{\pi})\)

⇒\(d''<0\)

Therefore, at t=\(\frac{1}{4}\), d=\(5sin(2{\pi}t)\) will have maximum displacement.

⇒d=\(5sin(2{\pi}(\frac{1}{4}))\)

⇒d=\(5sin(\frac{\pi}{2})\)

⇒d=\(5\)
