The velocity of a particle executing simple harmonic motion along $$x$$-axis is described as $$v^2 = 50 - x^2$$, where $$x$$ represents displacement. If the time period of motion is $$\frac{x}{7}$$ s, the value of $$x$$ is _____.
Correct Answer: 44
For a particle in simple harmonic motion, the standard velocity-displacement relation is
$$v^2 = \omega^2\left(A^2 - x^2\right)$$
where $$A$$ is the amplitude and $$\omega$$ is the angular frequency.
The given relation is
$$v^2 = 50 - x^2$$.
Match coefficients with the standard form:
$$\omega^2 A^2 = 50 \quad\text{and}\quad \omega^2 = 1$$
From $$\omega^2 = 1$$ we get
$$\omega = 1\; \text{rad s}^{-1}$$.
The time period $$T$$ of SHM is
$$T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} = 2\pi\; \text{s}$$.
The question states that the time period is also $$\dfrac{x}{7}\,\text{s}$$, so
$$\frac{x}{7} = 2\pi \;\Longrightarrow\; x = 14\pi.$$
Numerically, $$14\pi \approx 43.98 \approx 44.$$
Therefore, the required value of $$x$$ is 44.
