Two particles are in $SHM$ on same straight line with amplitude $A$ and $2A$ and with same angular frequency $\omega .$ It is observed that when first particle is at a distance $A/\sqrt{2}$ from origin and going toward mean position, other particle is at extreme position on other side of mean position.

Consider $2$ circles with radii $A \& 2 A$ and particles moving on them with constant angular velocity $\omega$

Choose $x$ axis to be horizontal on which the projection of the particles are to be taken.

When the projection of the first particle is at a distance $A / \sqrt{2}$ from origin, it is at an angle $45^{0}$ in the first quadrant.

whereas the second particle is at an angle $180^{0}$.

i.e the phase difference is $135^{0}$

    Two springs with negligible masses and force constant of $K_1 = 200\, Nm^{-1}$ and $K_2 = 160\, Nm^{-1}$ are attached to the block of mass $m = 10\, kg$ as shown in the figure. Initially the block is at rest, at the equilibrium position in which both springs are neither stretched nor compressed. At time $t = 0,$ a sharp impulse of $50\, Ns$ is given to the block with a hammer.
