A body is executing $$S.H.M.$$ When its displacement from the mean position are $$4\,cm$$ and $$5\,cm,$$ it has velocities $$10\,cm\,{s^{ - 1}}$$ and $$8\,cm\,{s^{ - 1}}$$ respectively. Its periodic time is

If a simple pendulum has significant amplitude (up to a factor of $$\frac{1}{e}$$ of original) only in the period between $$t = 0 s$$ to $$t = \tau s,$$ then $$\tau $$ may be called the average life of the pendulum. When the spherical bob of the pendulum suffers a retardation (due to viscous drag) proportional to its velocity with $$b$$ as the constant of proportionality, the average life time of the pendulum is (assuming damping is small) in seconds :
The equation of motion for the pendulum, suffering retardation
$$\eqalign{
& I\alpha = - mg\left( {\ell \sin \theta } \right) - mbv\left( \ell \right){\text{where}}\,I = m{\ell ^2}\,{\text{and}}\,\alpha = \frac{{{d^2}\theta }}{{d{t^2}}} \cr
& \therefore \frac{{{d^2}\theta }}{{d{t^2}}} = \frac{g}{\ell }\tan \theta + \frac{{bv}}{\ell } \cr} $$
On solving we get $$\theta = {\theta _0}{e^{ - \frac{{bt}}{2}\sin \left( {\omega t + \phi } \right)}}$$
According to questions $$\frac{{{\theta _0}}}{e} = {\theta _0}{e^{ - \frac{{b\tau }}{2}}}$$
$$\therefore \tau = \frac{2}{b}$$

A pendulum with time period of $$1s$$ is losing energy. At certain time its energy is $$45\,J.$$ If after completing 15 oscillations, its energy has become $$15\,J,$$ its damping constant (in $${s^{ - 1}}$$) is:

A particle is executing a simple harmonic motion. Its maximum acceleration is $$\alpha $$ and maximum velocity is $$\beta .$$ Then, its time period of vibration will be
For a particle executing $$SHM,$$ we have maximum acceleration,
$$\alpha = A{\omega ^2}\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
where, $$A$$ is maximum amplitude and $$\omega $$ is angular velocity of a particle.
Maximum velocity, $$\beta = A\omega \,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)$$
Dividing Eq. (i) by Eq. (ii), we get
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{\alpha }{\beta } = \frac{{A{\omega ^2}}}{{A\omega }} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{\alpha }{\beta } = \omega = \frac{{2\pi }}{T} \cr
& {\text{i}}{\text{.e}}{\text{.}}\,\,T = \frac{{2\pi \beta }}{\alpha } \cr} $$
Thus, its time period of vibration, $$T = \frac{{2\pi \beta }}{\alpha }$$
136.
If $$ < E > $$ and $$ < U > $$ denote the average kinetic and the average potential energies respectively of mass describing a simple harmonic motion, over one period, then the correct relation is

A particle of mass $$m$$ is attached to a spring (of spring constant $$k$$) and has a natural angular frequency $${\omega _0}.$$ An external force $$F\left( t \right)$$ proportional to $$\cos \,\omega t\left( {\omega \ne {\omega _0}} \right)$$ is applied to the oscillator. The displacement of the oscillator will be proportional to
A
$$\frac{1}{{m\left( {\omega _0^2 + {\omega ^2}} \right)}}$$
B
$$\frac{1}{{m\left( {\omega _0^2 - {\omega ^2}} \right)}}$$
C
$$\frac{m}{{\omega _0^2 - {\omega ^2}}}$$
D
$$\frac{m}{{\left( {\omega _0^2 + {\omega ^2}} \right)}}$$
Expression of kinetic energy is
$$K = \frac{1}{2}k\left( {{a^2} - {x^2}} \right)\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
Expression of potential energy is
$$U = \frac{1}{2}k{x^2}\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)$$
where, $$k = m{\omega ^2}$$
We observe that at mean position $$\left( {x = 0} \right),$$ kinetic energy is maximum $$\left( {\frac{1}{2}k{a^2}} \right)$$ and potential energy is minimum {zero}. Also at extreme positions $$\left( {x = \pm a} \right),$$ kinetic energy is zero and potential energy is maximum $$\left( {\frac{1}{2}k{a^2}} \right).$$ Thus, displacement between positions of maximum potential
maximum kinetic energy is $${ \pm a}.$$ NOTE
Kinetic energy is zero at extreme positions but potential energy at mean position need not be zero. It is minimum at mean position.

A particle of mass $$m$$ oscillates with simple harmonic motion between points $${x_1}$$ and $${x_2},$$ the equilibrium position being $$O.$$ Its potential energy is plotted. It will be as given below in the graph
Potential energy is given by $$U = \frac{1}{2}k{x^2}$$
The corresponding graph is shown in figure.
At equilibrium position $$\left( {x = 0} \right),$$ potential energy is minimum. At extreme positions $${x_1}$$ and $${x_2},$$ its potential energies are
$${U_1} = \frac{1}{2}kx_1^2\,\,{\text{and}}\,\,{U_2} = \frac{1}{2}kx_2^2$$ NOTE
In the above graph, the dotted line (curve) is shown for kinetic energy. This graph shows that kinetic energy is maximum at mean position and zero at extreme positions $${x_1}$$ and $${x_2}.$$

At point 2, the acceleration of the particle is maximum, which is at the extreme position. At extreme position, the velocity of the particle will be zero.
