Two particles are executing simple harmonic motion of the same amplitude $A$ and frequency $\omega $ along the $x-$ axis. Their mean position is separated by distance $X_0 (X_0> A)$. If the maximum separation between them is $(X_0 +A)$, the phase difference between their motion is
A particle executes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of $4 \mathrm{~cm}$. At the mean position, velocity of the particle is $10 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}$. The distance of the particle from the mean position when its speed becomes $5 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}$ is $\sqrt{\alpha} \mathrm{cm}$, where $\alpha=$____________.
The time period of a second's pendulum is $2\, sec$. The spherical bob which is empty from inside has a mass of $50\, gm$. This is now replaced by another solid bob of same radius but having different mass of $ 100\, gm$. The new time period will be .... $\sec$
A $0.10\, kg$ block oscillates back and forth along a horizontal surface. Its displacement from the origin is given by: $x = (10\,cm)\cos [(10\,rad/s)\,t + \pi /2\,rad]$. What is the maximum acceleration experienced by the block
Assume that a tunnel is dug along a chord of the earth, at a perpendicular distance $( R / 2)$ from the earth's centre, where $'R'$ is the radius of the Earth. The wall of the tunnel is frictionless. If a particle is released in this tunnel, it will execute a simple harmonic motion with a time period
A ring is hung on a nail. It can oscillate, without slipping or sliding $(i)$ in its plane with a time period $T_{1}$ and, $(ii)$ back and forth in a direction perpendicular to its plane, with a period $T _{2}$. the ratio $\frac{ T _{1}}{ T _{2}}$ will be
