  • $ \frac{ ( a^2 - x^2 \, \omega^2 ) }{ x^2 \, \omega^2 }$
  • $ \frac{ x^2 \, \omega^2}{ (a^2 - x^2 \, \omega^2 )}$
  • $ \frac{ (a^2 - x^2) }{ x^2 } $
  • $ \frac{ x^2 }{ (a^2 - x^2 )} $

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

PE. F = $ \frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 \, x^2 $
and KE, T = $ \frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 (a^2 - x^2)$
$\therefore \frac{ T}{ V} = \frac{ a^2 - x^2 }{ x^2 } $

Energy In Simple Harmonic Motion

We can note there involves a continuous interchange of potential and kinetic energy in a simple harmonic motion. The system that performs simple harmonic motion is called the harmonic oscillator.

Case 1: When the potential energy is zero, and the kinetic energy is a maximum at the equilibrium point where maximum displacement takes place.

Case 2: When the potential energy is maximum, and the kinetic energy is zero, at a maximum displacement point from the equilibrium point.

Case 3: The motion of the oscillating body has different values of potential and kinetic energy at other points.
