A body describes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 5 cm and a period of 0.2 s. Find the acceleration and velocity of body when the displacement is (a) 5 cm, (b) 3 cm and (c) 0 cm.
Solution:  
Here,r=5cm=0.05m ; T=0.2s; ω=
2π
T
=
2π
0.2
=10πrads1

When displacement is y, then acceleration, a=ω2y
velocity, v=ωr2y2
Case (a) When y = 5 cm = 0.05 m
a=(10π)2×0.05=5π2ms2,
v=10π(0.05)2(0.05)2=0
Case (b) When y = 3 cm = 0.03 m
a=(10π)2×0.03=3π2ms2,
v=10π(0.05)2(0.03)2 =10π×0.04=0.4πms1
Case (c) When y = 0
a=(10π)2×0=0,
v=10π(0.05)2(0)2 =10π×0.05=0.5πms1
