If ‘x’, ‘v’ and ‘a’ denote the displacement, velocity and acceleration of a particle respectively executing SHM of periodic time t, then which one of the following does not change with time?

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Key Idea for checking the correctness of an equation dimensional analysis is done using the principle of homogeneity.
The dimensions of given variables of SHM are as
Displacement,x=M0LT0
Velocity,v=M0LT-1
Acceleration,a=M0LT-2
and time period,T=M0L0T
Now, checking each option for these values for option (a)
aTx=M0LT-2M0LT0=M0L0T-1
As it depends on time, so change with it.
For option (b),
aT+2πv=M0LT-2M0L0T+M0L0T-1
=M0LT-1
It is also dependent on time and hence changes with it.
For optionc,
aTv=M0LT-2M0L0TM0LT-1=M0L0T0
As it is a constant having no dimension, so it does not change with time.
For option (d),
at+4π2d2=M0LT-2M0L0T+M0LT-12
=LT-1+L2T-2
As, the terms is dependent on time, so changes with it.
Also, it is dimensionally incorrect.
Hence, optioncis correct.
