A body is executing simple harmonic motion. At a displacement $$x$$ from mean position, its potential energy is $${E_1} = 2J$$ and at a displacement $$y$$ from mean position, its potential energy is $${E_2} = 8J.$$ The potential energy $$E$$ at a displacement $$\left( {x + y} \right)$$ from mean position is

If a simple harmonic oscillator has got a displacement of $$0.02\,m$$ and acceleration equal to $$2.0\,m/{s^2}$$ at any time, the angular frequency of the oscillator is equal to
Time period of body executing $$SHM$$ is given by
$$T = \frac{{2\pi }}{\omega } = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{x}{a}} \,\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
where, $$x$$ is displacement of the particle and $$a$$ is acceleration of the particle.
From Eq. (i)
$$\eqalign{
& \omega = \sqrt {\frac{a}{x}} \,\,{\text{or}}\,\,{\omega ^2} = \frac{a}{x} \cr
& {\text{Here,}}\,\,a = 2.0\,m/{s^2} \cr
& x = 0.02\,m \cr
& \therefore {\omega ^2} = \frac{{2.0}}{{0.02}} \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,{\omega ^2} = 100 \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,\omega = 10\,rad/s \cr} $$

A mass $$m$$ is vertically suspended from a spring of negligible mass, the system oscillates with a frequency $$n.$$ What will be the frequency of the system, if a mass $$4m$$ is suspended from the same spring ?
Time period of spring-mass system, is given by
$$\eqalign{
& T = 2\pi \sqrt {\left( {\frac{{{\text{displacement}}}}{{{\text{acceleration}}}}} \right)} \cr
& \therefore {\text{Frequency, }}n = \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{{\text{acceleration}}}}{{{\text{displacement}}}}} \cr
& n = \frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{g}{l}} \,......\left( {\text{i}} \right) \cr} $$
In case of vertical spring-mass system, in equilibrium position
$$kl = mg \Rightarrow \frac{g}{l} = \frac{k}{m}$$
where,
$$l =$$ extension in the spring and
$$m =$$ mass of the suspended body
$$k =$$ spring constant or force constant of spring.
$$\therefore $$ From Eq. (i), we have
$$n = \frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{k}{m}} \,\,{\text{or}}\,\,n \propto \frac{1}{{\sqrt m }}\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,\frac{{{n_1}}}{{{n_2}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{m_2}}}{{{m_1}}}} $$
but $${m_1} = m,\,{m_2} = 4m,{n_1} = n\left( {{\text{given}}} \right)$$
$$\therefore \frac{n}{{{n_2}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{4m}}{m}} = 2\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,{n_2} = \frac{n}{2}$$ Alternative
As we know that
$$\eqalign{
& T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{m}{k}} \,\,\left( {{\text{for spring mass system}}} \right) \cr
& n = \frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{k}{m}} \cr} $$
So, for two different masses suspended with same spring.
$$\eqalign{
& {n_1} = \frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{k}{{{m_1}}}} \,\,\left[ {k\,{\text{is}}\,{\text{same}}\,{\text{for}}\,{\text{both}}\,{\text{the}}\,{\text{cases}}\,{\text{as}}\,{\text{spring}}\,{\text{is}}\,{\text{same}}} \right] \cr
& {n_2} = \frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{k}{{{m_2}}}} \cr
& {\text{so,}}\,\,\frac{{{n_1}}}{{{n_2}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{m_2}}}{{{m_1}}}} \cr
& {\text{here,}}\,\,{m_2} = 4{m_1} \cr
& {\text{so,}}\,\,\frac{{{n_1}}}{{{n_2}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{4{m_1}}}{{{m_1}}}} = \frac{2}{1} \cr
& \Rightarrow {n_1} = 2{n_2} \cr
& \Rightarrow {n_2} = \frac{{{n_1}}}{2} = \frac{n}{2}\,\,\left[ {{n_1} = n} \right] \cr} $$

Two bodies $$M$$ and $$N$$ of equal masses are suspended from two separate massless springs of spring constants $${k_1}$$ and $${k_2}$$ respectively. If the two bodies oscillate vertically such that their maximum velocities are equal, the ratio of the amplitude of vibration of $$M$$ to that of $$N$$ is
Both the bodies oscillate in simple harmonic motion, for which the maximum velocities will be
Given that $${v_1} = {v_2} \Rightarrow {a_1}{\omega _1} = {a_2}{\omega _2}$$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore {a_1} \times \frac{{2\pi }}{{{T_1}}} = {a_2} \times \frac{{2\pi }}{{{T_2}}} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{{a_1}}}{{{a_2}}} = \frac{{{T_1}}}{{{T_2}}} = \frac{{2\pi \sqrt {\frac{m}{{{k_1}}}} }}{{2\pi \sqrt {\frac{m}{{{k_2}}}} }} = \sqrt {\frac{{{k_2}}}{{{k_1}}}} \cr} $$

A small block is connected to one end of a massless spring of un-stretched length $$4.9m.$$ The other end of the spring (see the figure) is fixed. The system lies on a horizontal frictionless surface. The block is stretched by $$0.2m$$ and released from rest at $$t = 0.$$ It then executes simple harmonic motion with angular frequency $$\omega = \frac{\pi }{3}rad/s.$$ Simultaneously at $$t = 0,$$ a small pebble is projected with speed $$v$$ form point $$P$$ at an angle of $${45^ \circ }$$ as shown in the figure. Point $$P$$ is at a horizontal distance of $$10m$$ from $$O.$$ If the pebble hits the block at $$t = 1s,$$ the value of $$v$$ is (take $$g = 10m/{s^2}$$ )

A point mass oscillates along the $$x$$-axis according to the law $$x = {x_0}\cos \left( {\omega t - \frac{\pi }{4}} \right).$$ If the acceleration of the particle is written as $$a = A\cos \left( {\omega t + \delta } \right),$$ then
A
$$A = {x_0}{\omega ^2},\delta = \frac{{3\pi }}{4}$$
B
$$A = {x_0},\delta = \frac{{ - \pi }}{4}$$
C
$$A = {x_0}{\omega ^2},\delta = \frac{\pi }{4}$$
D
$$A = {x_0}{\omega ^2},\delta = \frac{{ - \pi }}{4}$$
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Here,}} \cr
& \,x = {x_0}\cos \left( {\omega t - \frac{\pi }{4}} \right) \cr
& \therefore {\text{Velocity,}}\,v = \frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = - {x_0}\omega \sin \left( {\omega t - \frac{\pi }{4}} \right) \cr
& {\text{Acceleration,}} \cr
& a = \frac{{dv}}{{dt}} = - {x_0}{\omega ^2}\cos \left( {\omega t - \frac{\pi }{4}} \right) \cr
& = {x_0}{\omega ^2}\cos \left[ {\pi + \left( {\omega t - \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)} \right] \cr
& = {x_0}{\omega ^2}\cos \left( {\omega t + \frac{{3\pi }}{4}} \right)\,......\left( 1 \right) \cr
& {\text{Acceleration,}}\,a = A\cos \left( {\omega t + \delta } \right)......\left( 2 \right) \cr} $$
Comparing the two equations, we get
$$A = {x_0}{\omega ^2}\,{\text{and}}\,\delta = \frac{{3\pi }}{4}$$

Two simple pendulums of length $$0.5\,m$$ and $$2.0\,m$$ respectively are given small linear displacement in one direction at the same time. They will again be in the same phase when the pendulum of shorter length has completed oscillations
For the pendulum to be again in the same phase, there should be difference of one complete oscillation.
If smaller pendulum completes $$n$$ oscillations the larger pendulum will complete $$\left( {n - 1} \right)$$ oscillations, so Time period of $$n$$ oscillations of first = Time period of $$\left( {n - 1} \right)$$ oscillations of second
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{i}}{\text{.e}}{\text{.}}\,\,n{T_1} = \left( {n - 1} \right){T_2} \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,n2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{{l_1}}}{g}} = \left( {n - 1} \right)2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{{l_2}}}{g}} \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,n\sqrt {{l_1}} = \left( {n - 1} \right)\sqrt {{l_2}} \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,\frac{n}{{n - 1}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{l_2}}}{{{l_1}}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{2.0}}{{0.5}}} \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,\frac{n}{{n - 1}} = 2 \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,n = 2\,n - 2 \cr
& \therefore n = 2 \cr} $$

Two masses $$m$$ and $$\frac{m}{2}$$ are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length $$l.$$ The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant $$k$$ at the centre of mass of the rod-mass system (see figure). Because of torsional constant $$k,$$ the restoring toruque is $$\tau = k\theta $$ for angular displacement $$\theta .$$ If the rod is rotated by $${\theta _0}$$ and released, the tension in it when it passes through its mean position will be:
Distance of c.m from $$\frac{m}{2}$$
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{{\frac{m}{2} \times 0 + m \times l}}{{\frac{m}{2} + m}} = \frac{{2l}}{3} \cr
& {I_{cm}} = \frac{m}{2}{\left( {\frac{{2l}}{3}} \right)^2} + m{\left( {\frac{l}{3}} \right)^2} = \frac{1}{3}m{l^2} \cr} $$
At the mean position
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{1}{2}{I_{cm}}{\omega ^2} = \frac{1}{2}k\theta _0^2 \cr
& \therefore {\omega ^2} = \frac{k}{{{I_{cm}}}}\theta _0^2 \cr
& {\omega ^2} = \frac{{3k}}{{m{l^2}}}\theta _0^2 \cr} $$
As we know, $$\omega = \sqrt {\frac{k}{{{I_{cm}}}}} $$
Tension in the rod when it passes through the mean position,
$$ = m{\omega ^2}\frac{l}{3} = m\left[ {\frac{{3k}}{{m{l^2}}}\theta _0^2} \right]\frac{l}{3} = \frac{{k\theta _0^2}}{l}$$

The angular velocity and the amplitude of a simple pendulum is $$\omega $$ and $$a$$ respectively. At a displacement $$x$$ from the mean position if its kinetic energy is $$T$$ and potential energy is $$V,$$ then the ratio of $$T$$ to $$V$$ is
A
$$\frac{{\left( {{a^2} - {x^2}{\omega ^2}} \right)}}{{{x^2}{\omega ^2}}}$$
B
$$\frac{{{x^2}{\omega ^2}}}{{\left( {{a^2} - {x^2}{\omega ^2}} \right)}}$$
C
$$\frac{{\left( {{a^2} - {x^2}} \right)}}{{{x^2}}}$$
D
$$\frac{{{x^2}}}{{\left( {{a^2} - {x^2}} \right)}}$$

A rod of mass $$M$$ and length $$L$$ is hinged at its centre of mass so that it can rotate in a vertical plane. Two springs each of stiffness $$k$$ are connected at its ends, as shown in the figure. The time period of $$SHM$$ is
