A basic harmonic oscillator has a 0.42 m amplitude and a 3.8 sec period. The maximum acceleration in the simple harmonic motion will be 1.144 rad/s².
Given that,
Amplitude of simple harmonic motion = 0.42 m
Time period of oscillation T = 3.8 sec
We have to find the maximum acceleration, but before that we have to find the angular frequency
The relation for angular frequency is
ω = (2*π)/T = (2* 3.14)/3.8 = 1.65 rad/sec
Maximum acceleration is given by, α = ω²* A = 1.65²* 0.42 = 1.144 rad/s²
Thus, maximum acceleration in the simple harmonic motion will be 1.144 rad/s².
