A particle in $SHM $ is described by the displacement equation $x(t) = A\cos (\omega t + \theta ).$ If the initial $(t = 0)$ position of the particle is $1 \,cm$ and its initial velocity is $\pi $cm/s, what is its amplitude? The angular frequency of the particle is $\pi {s^{ - 1}}$
A$1\, cm$
B$\sqrt 2 \,cm$
C$2\, cm$
D$2.5\, cm$

B$\sqrt 2 \,cm$
b (b) Given, $v = \pi \,cm/\sec ,$ $x = 1\,cm$ and $\omega = \pi {s^{ - 1}}$
using $v = \omega \sqrt {{a^2} - {x^2}} $
==> $\pi = \pi \sqrt {{a^2} - 1} $
$ \Rightarrow 1 = {A^2} - 1$
$ \Rightarrow A = \sqrt 2 \,cm.$

A particle starts from a point $P$ at a distance of $A/2$ from the mean position $O$ and travels towards left as shown in the figure. If the time period of $SHM$ , executed about $O$ is $T$ and amplitude $A$ then the equation of motion of particle is
The displacement of a damped harmonic oscillator is given by $x\left( t \right) = {e^{ - 0.1\,t}}\,\cos \left( {10\pi t + \varphi } \right)$ The time taken for its amplitude of vibration to drop to half of its initial value is close to .... $s$
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 phase when the pendulum of shorter length has completed .... oscillations.
An ideal gas enclosed in a vertical cylindrical container supports a freely moving piston of mass $M$. The piston and the cylinder have equal cross sectional area $A$. When the piston is in equilibrium, the volume of the gas is $V_0$ and its pressure is $P_ 0$. The piston is slightly displaced from the equilibrium position and released. Assuming that the system is completely isolated from its surrounding, the piston executes a simple harmonic motion with frequency
Two identical springs have the same force constant $73.5 \,Nm ^{-1}$. The elongation produced in each spring in three cases shown in Figure-$1$, Figure-$2$ and Figure-$3$ are $\left(g=9.8 \,ms ^{-2}\right)$
A simple pendulum is made of a body which is a hollow sphere containing mercury suspended by means of a wire. If a little mercury is drained off, the period of pendulum will
