Equation of SHM: Practice Problem & Solution

The equation of motion of a particle of mass 1 gm is d²x/dt² + π²x = 0 where x is displacement (in m) from mean position. The frequency of oscillation is (in Hz) :
1/2
2
5√10
1/5√10

Short Solution (Best for NEET):

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Equation of SHM. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

a =- ω²x

comparing 

ω² = π² ⇒ ω =π ⇒ 2πυ= π ⇒ υ = 1/2 Hz
