In the figure shown, there is friction between the blocks $P$ and $Q$ but the contact between the block $Q$ and lower surface is frictionless. Initially the block $Q$ with block $P$ over it lies at $x=0$, with spring at its natural length. The block $Q$ is pulled to right and then released. As the spring - blocks system undergoes $S.H.M.$ with amplitude $A$, the block $P$ tends to slip over $Q . P$ is more likely to slip at
A$x=0$
B$x=+A$
C$x=+\frac{A}{2}$
D$x=+\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}$

The block is most likely to slip when there is maximum acceleration.
This happens when the blocks are at the extremities where the displacement is either $+A$ or $-A$.

A particle is executing $SHM$ with amplitude $A,$ time period $T,$ maximum acceleration $a_o$ and maximum velocity $v_0.$ Its starts from mean position at $t=0$ and at time $t,$ it has the displacement $A/2,$ acceleration $a$ and velocity $v$ then
The displacement of an oscillating particle varies with time (in seconds) according to the equation $y (cm) = sin \frac{\pi }{2}\left( {\frac{t}{2} + \frac{1}{3}} \right)$. The maximum acceleration of the particle is approximately ..... $cm/s^2$
A book is resting on a shelf that is undergoing vertical simple harmonic oscillations with an amplitude of $2.5 \,cm$. What is the minimum frequency of oscillation of the shelf for .......... $Hz$ the book will lose contact with the shelf? (Assume that, $g=10 \,ms ^{-2}$ )
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
$2$ particles $p$ and $q$ describe $SHM$ of same amplitude $a$ and same frequency $f$ along straight line, the maximum distance between the two particle $a\sqrt 2 $ . The initial phase difference between particle is
The potential energy of a particle of mass $4\,kg$ in motion along the $x$-axis is given by $U =4(1-\cos 4 x )\,J$. The time period of the particle for small oscillation $(\sin \theta \simeq \theta)$ is $\left(\frac{\pi}{ K }\right)\,s$. The value of $K$ is .......
