The total energy of a particle, executing simple harmonic motion is:
(Where $$x$$ is the displacement from the mean position, hence total energy is independent of $$x.$$)
As seen from figure after one time period the bob return to its equilibrium position, so displacement of the particle is zero, but distance covered by the particle in one time period is $$4\,A$$ (where $$A$$ is amplitude of bob, when it does $$S.H.M.$$ )

A simple harmonic motion has an amplitude $$A$$ and time period $$T.$$ The time required by it to travel from $$x = A$$ to $$x = \frac{A}{2}$$ is
At extreme position
$$\eqalign{
& y = A\sin \left( {\omega t + \frac{\pi }{2}} \right) = A\cos \omega t \cr
& {\text{Now}}\,y = \frac{A}{2}\,{\text{then}}\,\frac{A}{2} = A\cos \omega t \cr
& \Rightarrow \omega t = {\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)\,\,\frac{{2\pi }}{T}t = \frac{\pi }{3} \Rightarrow t = \frac{T}{6} \cr} $$

The bob of a simple pendulum executes simple harmonic motion in water with a period $$t,$$ while the period of oscillation of the bob is $${t_0}$$ in air. Neglecting frictional force of water and given that the density of the bob is $$\left( {\frac{4}{3}} \right) \times 1000\,kg/{m^3}.$$ What relationship between $$t$$ and $${t_0}$$ is true?

The particle executing simple harmonic motion has a kinetic energy $${K_0}{\cos ^2}\omega t.$$ The maximum values of the potential energy and the total energy are respectively
In simple harmonic motion, the total energy of the particle is constant at all instants which is totally kinetic when particle is passing through the mean position and is totally potential when particle is passing through the extreme position.
The variation of $$PE$$ and $$KE$$ with time is shown in figure, by dotted parabolic curve and solid parabolic curve respectively.
Figure indicates that maximum values of total energy, $$KE$$ and $$PE$$ of $$SHM$$ are equal.
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Now,}}\,\,KE = {K_0}{\cos ^2}\omega t \cr
& \therefore K{E_{\max }} = {K_0} \cr
& {\text{So,}}\,P{E_{\max }} = {K_0} \cr
& {\text{and}}\,\,{\left( E \right)_{{\text{Total}}}} = {K_0} \cr} $$

A point mass is subjected to two simultaneous sinusoidal displacements in $$x$$-direction, $${x_1}\left( t \right) = A\sin \omega t$$ and $${x_2}\left( t \right) = A\sin \left( {\omega t + \frac{{2\pi }}{3}} \right).$$ Adding a third sinusoidal displacement $${x_3}\left( t \right) = B\sin \left( {\omega t + \phi } \right)$$ brings the mass to a complete rest. The values of $$B$$ and $$\phi $$ are
Two sinusoidal displacements have amplitude $$A$$ each, with a phase difference of $$2\frac{\pi }{3}.$$ It is given that sinusoidal displacement $${x_3}\left( t \right)$$ brings the mass to a complete rest. This is possible when the amplitude of third is $$A$$ and is having a phase difference of $$4\frac{\pi }{3}$$ with respect to $${x_1}\left( t \right)$$ as shown in the figure.

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 $$U,$$ then the ratio of $$T$$ to $$U$$ is
A
$$\left( {\frac{{{a^2} - {x^2}{\omega ^2}}}{{{x^2}{\omega ^2}}}} \right)$$
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
$$\frac{{{x^2}}}{{\left( {{a^2} - {x^2}} \right)}}$$
Consider a particle of mass $$m,$$ executing linear $$SHM$$ with amplitude $$a$$ and constant angular frequency $$\omega .$$ Suppose $$t$$ second after starting from the mean position, the displacement of the particle is $$x,$$ which is given by
$$x = a\sin \omega t$$
So, potential energy of particle is
$$U = \frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}{x^2}\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
and kinetic energy of particle is
$$T = \frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}\left( {{a^2} - {x^2}} \right)\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)$$
From Eqs. (i) and (ii)
$$\frac{T}{U} = \frac{{{a^2} - {x^2}}}{{{x^2}}}$$

The $$x-t$$ graph of a particle undergoing simple harmonic motion is shown below. The acceleration of the particle at $$t = \frac{4}{3}s$$ is
From the graph it is clear that the amplitude is $$1\,cm$$ and the time period is 8 second. Therefore the equation for the $$S.H.M.$$ is
$$x = a\sin \left( {\frac{{2\pi }}{T}} \right) \times t = 1\sin \left( {\frac{{2\pi }}{8}} \right)t = \sin \frac{\pi }{4}t$$
The velocity $$\left( v \right)$$ of the particle at any instant of time $$'t'$$ is
$$v = \frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = \frac{d}{{dt}}\left[ {\sin \left( {\frac{\pi }{4}} \right)t} \right] = \frac{\pi }{4}\cos \left( {\frac{\pi }{4}} \right)t$$
The acceleration of the particle is
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{{d^2}x}}{{d{t^2}}} = - {\left( {\frac{\pi }{4}} \right)^2}\sin \left( {\frac{\pi }{4}} \right)t \cr
& {\text{At}}\,\,t = \frac{4}{3}s\,\,{\text{we}}\,{\text{get}} \cr
& \frac{{{d^2}x}}{{d{t^2}}} = - {\left( {\frac{\pi }{4}} \right)^2}\sin \frac{\pi }{4} \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{{ - \sqrt 3 {\pi ^2}}}{{32}}cm/{s^2} \cr} $$
