Time Period of Oscillator

A particle is performing SHM along x-axis such that its velocity and displacement are related as \(27v^2 = 10 - 3x^2\), then time period of oscillation of particle is:
\(2\pi\text{ s}\)
\(3\pi\text{ s}\)
\(6\pi\text{ s}\)
\(9\pi\text{ s}\)

Solution:

The given equation can be rewritten as \(v^2 = \frac{10}{27} - \frac{1}{9}x^2\). Comparing this with the standard SHM equation \(v^2 = \omega^2(A^2 - x^2)\), we get \(\omega^2 = \frac{1}{9}\) which gives \(omega = \frac{1}{3}\text{ rad/s}\). Thus, the time period is \(T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} = 6\pi\text{ s}\).
