A cylindrical block of wood (density $= 650\, kg\, m^{-3}$), of base area $30\,cm^2$ and height $54\, cm$, floats in a liquid of density $900\, kg\, m^{-3}$ . The block is depressed slightly and then released. The time period of the resulting oscillations of the block would be equal to that of a simple pendulum of length ..... $cm$ (nearly)

Required equivalent length
$=\frac{\rho_{\text {wood }}}{\rho_{\text {liquid }}} \times$ height of block
$=\frac{650}{900} \times 54 \times 10^{-2}$
$\Rightarrow l=0.39 \mathrm{m}=39 \mathrm{cm}$

A particle executes linear simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of $2\, cm$. When the particle is at $1\, cm$ from the mean position the magnitude of its velocity is equal to that of its acceleration. Then its time period in seconds is
A body is executing $S.H.M.$ When its displacement from the mean position is $4\, cm$ and $5\, cm$, the corresponding velocity of the body is $10 \,cm/sec$ and $8\, cm/sec$. Then the time period of the body is
The periodic time of a simple pendulum of length $1\, m $ and amplitude $2 \,cm $ is $5\, seconds$. If the amplitude is made $4\, cm$, its periodic time in seconds will be
