The displacement, y, of a body undergoing simple harmonic motion (SHM) is given by

y = A sin (ωt + φ)             ------------------(i)

Where;

A = maximum displacement or amplitude of the body

ω = angular frequency of the body

t = time taken for the displacement

φ = phase constant

The velocity, v, of the body can be found by differentiating equation (i) as follows;

v = Aω cos (ωt + φ)          ------------------(ii)

Where;

Aω = maximum velocity or amplitude of the velocity of the body

Also, the acceleration of the body can be found by differentiating equation (ii) as follows;

a = -Aω² sin(ωt + φ)                  --------------------(iii)

Where;

-Aω² = maximum acceleration or amplitude of the acceleration of the body

(a) From equation (iii), the magnitude of the maximum acceleration is given by;

= Aω²           ----------------(iv)

Where;

A = amplitude = 0.40mm = 0.00040m

ω = 2 π f            [Take π = 3.142. Also, f = frequency of the motion = 1000Hz]

=> ω = 2 x 3.142 x 1000 = 6284 rad/s

Substitute these values into equation (iv) as follows;

= 0.00040 x 6284² = 15795.5m/s²

Therefore, the magnitude of the maximum acceleration is 15795.5m/s²

========================================================

(b) From equation (ii), the magnitude of the maximum velocity , is given by;

= Aω          ----------------(v)

Where;

A = amplitude = 0.40mm = 0.00040m

ω = 2 π f            [Take π = 3.142. Also, f = frequency of the motion = 1000Hz]

=> ω = 2 x 3.142 x 1000 = 6284 rad/s

Substitute these values into equation (v) as follows;

= 0.00040 x 6284 = 15795.5m/s²

Therefore, the magnitude of the maximum velocity is 2.5m/s

========================================================

(c) Comparing equations (i) and (iii),  equation (iii) can be written as;

a = -ω² y            -------------------(vi)

Therefore, to get the acceleration at tip displacement of 0.20mm, substitute y = 0.20mm = 0.00020m and ω = 6284rad/s into equation (vi) as follows;

a = - 6284² x 0.00020

a = - 7897.7 m/s²

Therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration at the tip displacement is 7897.7 m/s²

========================================================

(d) Recall that;

sin²θ + cos²θ = 1

=> cos²θ = 1 - sin²θ

=> cosθ = √(1 - sin²θ )

=> cos (ωt + φ)  = √(1 - sin² (ωt + φ))

Substitute this value into equation (ii) as follows;

v = Aω √(1 - sin² (ωt + φ))

v = ω√(A² - A²sin² (ωt + φ))              

Now, comparing the equation above and equation (i), the equation above can be written as;

v = ω√(A² - y²)           -------------(vii)

Therefore, to get the velocity at tip displacement of 0.20mm, substitute y = 0.20mm = 0.00020m, ω = 6284rad/s and A = 0.00040m into equation (vii) as follows;

v = 6284√(0.00040² - 0.00020²)

v = 6284√(0.00000060)

v = 2.2m/s

Therefore, the magnitude of the velocity at the tip displacement is 2.2 m/s
