Question
The maximum speed and acceleration of a particle executing simple harmonic motion are 10cm/s and $50cm/s^2$. Find the position(s) of the particle when the speed is 8cm/s.

Answer
$\text{v}_{\text{max}}=10\text{cm/sec}.$$\Rightarrow\text{r}\omega=10$
$\Rightarrow\omega^2=\frac{100}{\text{r}^2}\ ...(1)$
$\text{A}_{\text{max}}=\omega^2\text{r}=50\text{cm/sec}$
$\Rightarrow\omega^2=\frac{50}{\text{y}}=\frac{50}{\text{r}}\ ...(2)$
$\therefore\frac{100}{\text{r}^2}=\frac{50}{\text{r}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}=2\text{cm}.$
$\therefore\omega=\sqrt{\frac{100}{\text{r}^2}}=5\sec^2$
Again, to find out the positions where the speed is 8m/sec,
$\text{v}^2=\omega^2(\text{r}^2-\text{y}^2)$
$\Rightarrow64=25(4-\text{y}^2)$
$\Rightarrow4-\text{y}^2=\frac{64}{25}$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}^2=1.44$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\sqrt{1.44}$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\pm1.2\text{cm}$ from mean position.
$\Rightarrow\omega^2=\frac{100}{\text{r}^2}\ ...(1)$
$\text{A}_{\text{max}}=\omega^2\text{r}=50\text{cm/sec}$
$\Rightarrow\omega^2=\frac{50}{\text{y}}=\frac{50}{\text{r}}\ ...(2)$
$\therefore\frac{100}{\text{r}^2}=\frac{50}{\text{r}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}=2\text{cm}.$
$\therefore\omega=\sqrt{\frac{100}{\text{r}^2}}=5\sec^2$
Again, to find out the positions where the speed is 8m/sec,
$\text{v}^2=\omega^2(\text{r}^2-\text{y}^2)$
$\Rightarrow64=25(4-\text{y}^2)$
$\Rightarrow4-\text{y}^2=\frac{64}{25}$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}^2=1.44$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\sqrt{1.44}$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\pm1.2\text{cm}$ from mean position.
