Given:
Amplitude
We want to find
such that the kinetic energy
is twice the potential energy
.
Using the formulas for kinetic energy and potential energy in SHM:
Since we are considering the same particle, the mass
cancels out. Therefore, we can compare the expressions for
and
:
Simplifying this equation:
Dividing both sides by
:
Taking the square root of both sides:
Substituting the value of
:
Calculating the value:
Converting to centimeters:
Therefore, the distance from the mean position at which the kinetic energy is twice the potential energy is approximately
.
