Show that for a particle in linear SHM the average kinetic energy over a period of oscillation equals the average potential energy over the same period.
Solution:
Consider a particle of mass m executing S.H.M. with period T. The displacement of the particle at an instant t, when time period is noted from the mean position is given by ∴ Velocity, P.E., ∴ Average K.E. over one cycle
...(i) Average P.E. over one cycle
...(ii)From (i) and (ii),
