Answer:
<em>1</em><em>. </em><em>A body is said to be at rest if its position does not change with respect to its surroundings.</em>
As we know that KE and PE is same at a given position
so we will have as a function of position given as
also the PE is given as function of position as
now it is given that
KE = PE
now we will have
so the position is 0.707 times of amplitude when KE and PE will be same
Part b)
KE of SHO at x = A/3
we can use the formula
now to find the fraction of kinetic energy
now since total energy is sum of KE and PE
so fraction of PE at the same position will be
As per the question the mass of the boy is 50 kg.
The boy sits on a chair.
We are asked to calculate the force exerted by the boy on the chair at sea level.
The force exerted by boy on the chair while sitting on it is nothing else except the force of gravity of earth i.e the weight of the body .The direction of that force is vertically downward.
At sea level the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2
Hence the weight of the boy [m is the mass of the body]
we have m = 50 kg.
Hence w = 50 kg ×9.8 m/s^2
=490 N kg m/s^2
= 490 N
Here newton [N] is the unit of force.
