The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum of length $L$ suspended from the roof of a vehicle which moves without friction down an inclined plane of inclination $\alpha$, is given by
A$2\pi \sqrt {\frac{L}{{g\cos \alpha }}} $
B$2\pi \sqrt {\frac{L}{{g\sin \alpha }}} $
C$2\pi \sqrt {\frac{L}{g}} $
D$2\pi \sqrt {\frac{L}{{g\tan \alpha }}} $

A$2\pi \sqrt {\frac{L}{{g\cos \alpha }}} $
a (a) See the following force diagram. Vehicle is moving down the frictionless inclined surface so, it's acceleration is $g\sin \theta $. Since vehicle is accelerating, a pseudo force $m(g\sin \theta )$ will act on bob of pendulum which cancel the $\sin \theta $ component of weight of the bob.
Hence net force on the bob is $F_{net} = mg\cos \theta $ or net acceleration of the bob is ${g_{eff}} = g\cos \theta $
$\therefore $ Time period $T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{{{g_{eff}}}}} = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{{g\cos \theta }}} $

A particle moves such that its acceleration $a$ is given by $a = - bx$, where $x$ is the displacement from equilibrium position and b is a constant. The period of oscillation is
A $2\, Kg$ block moving with $10\, m/s$ strikes a spring of constant $\pi ^2 N/m$ attached to $2\, Kg$ block at rest kept on a smooth floor. The time for which rear moving block remain in contact with spring will be ... $\sec$
A particle executes $S.H.M.$ according to equation $x=10( cm ) \cos \left[2 \pi t+\frac{\pi}{2}\right]$, where $t$ is in second. The magnitude of the velocity of the particle at $t=\frac{1}{6} \,s$ will be .............. $cm / s$
$Assertion :$ In $SHM$, acceleration is always directed towards the mean position.
$Reason :$ In $SHM$, the body has to stop momentary at the extreme position and move back to mean position.
A particle execute $S.H.M.$ along a straight line. The amplitude of oscillation is $2 \,cm$. When displacement of particle from the mean position is $1 \,cm$, the magnitude of its acceleration is equal to magnitude of its velocity. The time period of oscillation is ........
A particle is executing simple harmonic motion with a time period $T.$ At time $t = 0$, it is at its position of equilibrium. The kinetic energy-time graph of the particle will look like
The displacement time equation of a particle executing $SHM$ is : $x = A \,sin\,(\omega t + \phi )$. At time $t = 0$ position of the particle is $x = A/2$ and it is moving along negative $x-$ direction. Then the angle $\phi $ can be
Two blocks $A$ and $B$ each of mass m are connected by a massless spring of natural length L and spring constant $K$. The blocks are initially resting on a smooth horizontal floor with the spring at its natural length as shown in figure. A third identical block $C$ also of mass $m$ moves on the floor with a speed $v$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ and collides with $A$. Then
A particle is performing simple harmonic motion with amplitude A and angular velocity ${\omega }$. The ratio of maximum velocity to maximum acceleration is
