A particle is executing SHM along a straight line. Its velocities at distances \(x_1\) and \(x_2\) from the mean position are \(v_1\) and \(v_2\), respectively. Its time period is:
1. | \(2 \pi \sqrt{\dfrac{x_{1}^{2}+x_{2}^{2}}{v_{1}^{2}+v_{2}^{2}}}~\) | 2. | \(2 \pi \sqrt{\dfrac{{x}_{2}^{2}-{x}_{1}^{2}}{{v}_{1}^{2}-{v}_{2}^{2}}}\) |
3. | \(2 \pi \sqrt{\dfrac{v_{1}^{2}+v_{2}^{2}}{x_{1}^{2}+x_{2}^{2}}}\) | 4. | \(2 \pi \sqrt{\dfrac{v_{1}^{2}-v_{2}^{2}}{x_{1}^{2}-x_{2}^{2}}}\) |
