In Simple Harmonic Motion (S.H.M.), the potential energy of a particle is given by the formula:
Ux = (1/2) k (x - a)2
where k is the force constant and (x - a) is the displacement from the mean position.
Calculation:
Given the potential energy function, we compare it with the standard form of potential energy in S.H.M.
Option 1: Ux = (k/2)(x - a)2
⇒ This matches the standard form Ux = (1/2) k (x - a)2
∴ The correct answer is Option 1: Ux = (k/2)(x - a)2.
