The angular velocity and the amplitude of a simple pendulum is $\omega $ and $a$ respectively. At a displacement $X$ from the mean position if its kinetic energy is $T$ and potential energy is $V$, then the ratio of $T$ to $V$ is
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
The displacement of simple harmonic oscillator after $3$ seconds starting from its mean position is equal to half of its amplitude. The time period of harmonic motion is $\dots \; s$
The potential energy of a simple harmonic oscillator of mass $2\, kg$ in its mean position is $5\, J.$ If its total energy is $9\,J$ and its amplitude is $0.01\, m,$ its time period would be
A block of mass $m$ is at rest on an another block of same mass as shown in figure. Lower block is attached to the spring, then the maximum amplitude of motion so that both the block will remain in contact is
A particle is oscillating according to the equation $X = 7\cos 0.5\pi t$, where $t$ is in second. The point moves from the position of equilibrium to maximum displacement in time ..... $\sec$
Two identical balls A and B each of mass 0.1 kg are attached to two identical massless springs. The spring mass system is constrained to move inside a rigid smooth pipe bent in the form of a circle as shown in the figure. The pipe is fixed in a horizontal plane. The centres of the balls can move in a circle of radius 0.06 m. Each spring has a natural length of 0.06$\pi$ m and force constant 0.1N/m. Initially both the balls are displaced by an angle $\theta = \pi /6$ radian with respect to the diameter $PQ$ of the circle and released from rest. The frequency of oscillation of the ball B is
