A$U_x=\frac{k}{2}(x-a)^2$
a (a)
$P.E.$ of body in S.H.M. at an instant, $U =\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 y ^2=\frac{1}{2} ky ^2$
If the displacement, $y=(a-x)$ then
$U =\frac{1}{2} k ( a - x )^2=\frac{1}{2} k ( x - a )^2$

A simple pendulum of length $L$ and mass (bob) $M$ is oscillating in a plane about a vertical line between angular limits $ - \varphi $ and $ + \varphi $. For an angular displacement $\theta (|\theta | < \varphi )$, the tension in the string and the velocity of the bob are $T$ and $ v$ respectively. The following relations hold good under the above conditions
Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ connected by a spring of spring constant $k$ rest on a frictionless surface. If the masses are pulled apart and let go, the time period of oscillation is
The kinetic energy of a particle executing $S.H.M.$ is $16\, J$ when it is in its mean position. If the amplitude of oscillations is $25\, cm$ and the mass of the particle is $5.12\, kg$, the time period of its oscillation is
A large horizontal surface moves up and down in $SHM$ with an amplitude of $1 \,cm$. If a mass of $10\, kg$ (which is placed on the surface) is to remain continually in contact with it, the maximum frequency of $S.H.M.$ will be ... $Hz$
Two light identical springs of spring constant $k$ are attached horizontally at the two ends of a uniform horizontal rod $AB$ of length $l$ and mass $m$. the rod is pivoted at its centre $‘O’$ and can rotate freely in horizontal plane. The other ends of the two springs are fixed to rigid supports as shown in figure. The rod is gently pushed through a small angle and released. The frequency of resulting oscillation is
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)
A uniform stick of mass $M$ and length $L$ is pivoted at its centre. Its ends are tied to two springs each of force constant $K$ . In the position shown in figure, the strings are in their natural length. When the stick is displaced through a small angle $\theta $ and released. The stick
