B$3.12$
b (b)
Period $(T)=2 \,s$
$\omega=\frac{2 \pi}{2}=\pi \,rad / s$
When block just represent from a piston, maximum acceleration must be equal to $g$.
$g=-\omega^2 x$
Acceleration is maximum when $x=A$
$g=-\omega^2 A$
or $A=\frac{9.8}{\pi^2}$
Maximum velocity $=A \omega$
$=\frac{9.8}{\pi^2} \times \pi$
$=\frac{9.8}{\pi} \,m / s$
$=3.119 \,m / s =3.12 \,m / s$

A particle executing simple harmonic motion along $Y- $axis has its motion described by the equation $y = A\sin (\omega \,t) + B$. The amplitude of the simple harmonic motion is
Two massless springs with spring constants $2\,k$ and $2\,k$, carry $50\, g$ and $100 \,g$ masses at their free ends. These two masses oscillate vertically such that their maximum velocities are equal. Then, the ratio of their respective amplitudes will be
Two springs, of force constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ are connected to a mass $m$ as shown. The frequency of oscillation of the mass is $f$ If both $k_1$ and $k_2$ are made four times their original values, the frequency of oscillation becomes
A spring whose unstretched length is $\ell $ has a force constant $k$. The spring is cut into two pieces of unstretched lengths $\ell_1$ and $\ell_2$ where, $\ell_1 = n\ell_2$ and $n$ is an integer. The ratio $k_1/k_2$ of the corresponding force constants, $k_1$ and $k_2$ will be
To find the spring constant $(k)$ of a spring experimentally, a student commits $2 \%$ positive error in the measurement of time and $1 \%$ negative error in measurement of mass. The percentage error in determining value of $\mathrm{k}$ is :

Two pendulums have time periods $T$ and $\frac{{5T}}{4}.$They start $S.H.M.$ at the same time from the mean position. What will be the phase difference between them after the bigger pendulum has complete one oscillation ..... $^o$
A simple pendulum suspended from the ceiling of a stationary lift has period $T_0$. When the lift descends at steady speed, the period is $T_1$, and when it descends with constant downward acceleration, the period is $T_2$. Which one of the following is true?
A particle executes simple harmonic motion represented by displacement function as $x(t)=A \sin (\omega t+\phi)$
If the position and velocity of the particle at $t=0\, {s}$ are $2\, {cm}$ and $2\, \omega \,{cm} \,{s}^{-1}$ respectively, then its amplitude is $x \sqrt{2} \,{cm}$ where the value of $x$ is ..... .
