The angular frequency of a spring block system is $\omega _0.$ This system is suspended from the ceiling of an elevator moving downwards with a constant speed $v_0.$ The block is at rest relative to the elevator. Lift is suddenly stopped. Assuming the downwards as a positive direction, choose the wrong statement :

A

The amplitude of the block is $\frac{v_0}{\omega _0}$

B

The initial phase of the block is $\pi .$

C

The equation of motion for the block is $\frac{v_0}{\omega _0} \sin \omega _0\,t.$

D

The maximum speed of the block is $v_0.$

Solution

since $V_{0}$ is the maximum speed of the ball in its equilibrium position. $\therefore V_{0}=\omega_{0} A$

$A=\frac{V_{0}}{\omega_{0}}$

So equation of motion becomes $\frac{V_{0}}{\omega_{0}}=A \sin \omega_{0} t$ as there was no initial phase in the $SHM.$

There was no initial phase in the $SHM.$

Hence $B$ is correct.
