A particle performs simple harmonic motion between two points A and B which are 10 m apart on a horizontal straight line. When the particle is 3 m away from the centre, O, of the line AB, its speed is 8 ms^(−1) . Find the least time required for the particle to move from B to the midpoint of OA.

	$v = V_{0} \cos ω t w i t h V_{0} = s p e e d a t O$ $s = S_{1} \sin ω t w i t h S_{1} = O B = 5 m$ $T = p e r i o d = \frac{2 π}{ω}$ $a t t = t_{1} : s = 3 m, v = 8 m / s$ $8 = V_{0} \cos ω t_{1}$ $3 = 5 \sin ω t_{1}$ $\Rightarrow {(\frac{8}{V_{0}})}^{2} + {(\frac{3}{5})}^{2} = 1$ $\Rightarrow V_{0} = 10 m / s$ $o n t h e o t h e r s i d e : V_{0} = ω S_{1}$ $\Rightarrow ω = \frac{V_{0}}{S_{1}} = \frac{10}{8} = \frac{5}{4} 1 / s$ $\Rightarrow T = \frac{2 π}{ω} = \frac{8 π}{5} s$ $l e a s t t i m e f r o m B t o O = \frac{T}{4} = \frac{2 π}{5}$ $a t m i d p o i n t O A = C : s = \frac{O A}{2} = \frac{5}{2}$ $\frac{5}{2} = 5 \sin ω t_{2}$ $\Rightarrow ω t_{2} = \sin^{- 1} \frac{1}{2} = \frac{π}{6}$ $\Rightarrow t_{2} = \frac{4 π}{5 \times 6} = \frac{2 π}{15}$ $l e a s t t i m e f r o m B t o C :$ $\frac{T}{4} + t_{2} = \frac{2 π}{5} + \frac{2 π}{15} = \frac{8 π}{15} \approx 1.675 s$
