Chapter 11, Problem 1P

To determine

To Find: Total distance covered by particle in one period.

Answer to Problem 1P

  $\text{0}\text{.72 m}$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Amplitude of SHM, $\text{A= 0}\text{.18 m}$

Formula used:

Total distance covered in 1 period= $4\text{A}$

Calculation:

Substituting the given value:

Total distance, $\text{4A=4}\times \text{0}\text{.18 m = 0}\text{.72 m}$ .

Conclusion:

Thus, total distance travelled by body in SHM is $\text{0}\text{.72 m}$ .
