a) For maximum velocity v(t)
dv(t)/dt = 0
Substituting the value for v, we get
t = 1.5 seconds
b) For average velocity = total distance/time taken
Average velocity = 3 m
And the average velocity is maximum when time t = 2.36 sec
c) When the acceleration is maximum in a periodic motion, the time is maximum when the body returns to the mean position when v = 0
v(t) = 6t – 2t2
When t = 3 second, acceleration is maximum
d) Distance covered between 0-3 second
s = 9m
v(t) = -(t-3) (6-t)
ds/dt = (t-3)(t-6)
Integrating the equation from 3 to 6, s = -4.5m
The net distance = 9 – 4.5 = 4.5m
Height of climb in three cycle = (4.5)(3) = 13.5m
The remaining height = 20 -13.5 = 6.5 m
Therefore, no.of cycles is 20 when the height of the pole is 4.
