Question: The relation \(3t = \sqrt{3x} + 6\) describes the displacement of a particle in one direction where ...
The relation 3t=3x+6 describes the displacement of a particle in one direction where x is in metres and t in sec. The displacement, when velocity is zero, is
A
24 metres
B
12 metres
C
5 metres
D
Zero
Answer
Zero
Explanation
Solution
3t=3x+6 ⇒ 3x=(3t−6) ⇒ 3x=(3t−6)2
⇒ x=3t2−12t+12
∴ v = dtdx=dtd(3t2−12t+12)=6t−12
If velocity = 0 then, 6t−12=0 ⇒t=2sec
Hence at t = 2, x = 3(2)2 – 12 (2) + 12 = 0 metres.
