Q. Two simple harmonic motions of angular frequency 100 and 1000 rad s⁻¹ have the same displacement amplitude. The ratio of their maximum accelerations is
A) 1 : 10⁴
B) 1 : 10
C) 1 : 10²
D) 1 : 10³
Explanation
[Solution from source] Maximum acceleration = ω²A. For equal amplitudes the ratio is (100/1000)² = 1 : 10². 1 : 10 is the ratio of maximum velocities (ωA), not accelerations. Answer (3).
