Question 27

A component on a high-frequency vibration test rig undergoes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of oscillation s0 s_0\,s0​ and a maximum speed v0v_0v0​.

Which expression correctly represents the maximum acceleration amaxa_{\text{max}}amax​ of the component?

amax=v022πs0a_{\text{max}} = \frac{v_0^2}{2\pi s_0}amax​=2πs0​v02​​

amax=v02s0a_{\text{max}} = \frac{v_0^2}{s_0}amax​=s0​v02​​

amax=2πv02s0a_{\text{max}} = \frac{2\pi v_0^2}{s_0}amax​=s0​2πv02​​

amax=4π2v02s0a_{\text{max}} = \frac{4\pi^2 v_0^2}{s_0}amax​=s0​4π2v02​​
