Question:

The displacement of two identical particles performing S.H.M are represented by equation \(x_{1}=6\,\sin (5t+\pi /4)\) and \(x_{2}=4\,\cos \omega t\). The energies of both the particles will be same, if the value of \(\omega\) is

Show Hint

The energy of a particle in S.H.M. is proportional to the square of amplitude times the square of angular frequency.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
Energy in S.H.M. is \(E=\frac{1}{2}m\omega^{2}A^{2}\). The particles are identical, so \(A^{2}\omega^{2}\) must be equal.

Step 2: Read the amplitudes
For \(x_{1}=6\sin(5t+\frac{\pi}{4})\): \(A_{1}=6\) and \(\omega_{1}=5\). For \(x_{2}=4\cos\omega t\): \(A_{2}=4\) and angular frequency \(\omega\).

Step 3: Calculation
\(6^{2}\times5^{2}=4^{2}\times\omega^{2}\), so \(\omega^{2}=\frac{900}{16}=56.25\) and \(\omega=7.5\).

Final Answer:
The value of omega is 7.5 units. \[ \boxed{\text{(D) }7.5\ \text{unit}} \]
