Question 12 Marks
A body describes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 5 cm and a period of 0.2s. Find the acceleration and velocity of the body when the displacement is 5 cm.
Answer
Here $A=5 cm , T=0.2 s$
Velocity and acceleration at any displacement $x$ are given by
$
\begin{aligned}
v & =\omega \sqrt{ A ^2-x^2}=\frac{2 \pi}{ T } \sqrt{ A ^2-x^2} \\
a & =-\omega^2 x=-\frac{4 \pi^2}{ T ^2} x \\
a & =\frac{2 \pi}{0.2} \sqrt{5^2-5^2}=0 \\
a & =-\frac{4 \pi^2}{(0.2)^2} \times 5 cms ^{-2}=-500 \pi^2 cm s ^{-2}=-5 \pi^2 ms ^{-2}

Question 22 Marks
A mass M is suspended from a spring of negligible mass. The spring is pulled a little and then released so that the mass executes SHM of time period T. If the mass is increased by m, the time period becomes 5T/3. What is the ratio m/M?
Answer
With mass $M$, the time period of the spring is $T =2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{ M }{k}}$ With mass $M +m$, the time period becomes
$
\begin{aligned}
\frac{5 T }{3} & =2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{ M +m}{k}} \text { or } \frac{5}{3} \times 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{ M }{k}}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{ M +m}{k}} \\
\frac{25}{9} M & = M +m \quad ; \quad \frac{16}{9} M =m \quad \text { or } \quad \frac{m}{ M }=\frac{16}{9}

Question 32 Marks
A 0.2 kg of mass hangs at the end of a spring. When 0.02 kg more mass is added to the end of the spring, it stretches 7 cm more. If the 0.02 kg mass is removed, what will be the period of vibration of the system?
Answer
When $0.02 kg$ mass is added, the spring streches by $7 cm$
As
$
\begin{aligned}
m g & =k x \\
k & =\frac{m g}{x}=\frac{0.02 \times 10}{7 \times 10^{-2}}=\frac{20}{7} Nm ^{-1}
\end{aligned}
$
When $0.02 kg$ mass ia removed, the period of vibration will be
$
T =2 x \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.2}{20 / 7}}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{7}{100}}=\frac{2 \pi \times 2.645}{10}=1.66 s

Question 42 Marks
A $5 kg$ collar is attached to a spring of force constant $500 Nm ^{-1}$. It slides without friction on a horizontal rod as shown in figure. The collar is displaced from its equilibrium position by $10.0 cm$ and released.
Calculate:
(i) the period of oscillation
(ii) the maximum speed, and
(iii) the maximum acceleration of the collar.
Answer
Here $m=5 kg , k=500 Nm ^{-1}, A =10.0 cm =0.10 m$
(i) Period of oscillation,
$
T =2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{5}{500}}=2 \times 3.14 \times \frac{1}{10} s =0.628 s
$
(ii) The maximum speed of the collar,
$
v_{\max }=\omega^2 A =\frac{k}{m} A =\frac{500}{5} \times 0.10=10 ms ^{-2}
$
(iii) The maximum acceleration of the collar,
$
a_{\max }=\omega^2 A =\frac{k}{m} A =\frac{500}{5} \times 0.10=10 ms ^{-2}

Question 52 Marks
A block whose mass is $1 kg$ is fastened to a spring. The spring has a spring constant of $50 Nm ^{-1}$. The block is pulled to a distance $x=10 cm$ from its equilibrium position at $t=0$ on a frictionless surface from rest at $t=0$. Calculate the kinetic, potential and total energies of the block when it is $5 cm$ away from the mean position.
Answer
Here $m=1 kg , k=50 Nm ^{-1}, A =10 cm =0.10 m , y=5 cm =0.05 m$
Kinetic energy: $\quad E _{ K }=\frac{1}{2} k\left( A ^2-y^2\right)=\frac{1}{2} \times 50\left[(0.10)^2-(0.05)^2\right]=0.1875 J$
Potential energy, $E _{ P }=\frac{1}{2} k y^2=\frac{1}{2} \times 50 \times(0.05)^2=0.0625 J$
Total energy, $\quad E=E_K+E_p=0.1875+0.0625=0.25 J$

Question 62 Marks
Two simple harmonic motions are represented by the equations: $x_1=5 \sin \left(2 \pi t+\frac{\pi}{4}\right) ; x^2=5 \sqrt{2}(\sin 2 \pi t+\cos 2 \pi t)$What is the ratio of their amplitudes?
Answer
$ x_1=5 \sin \left(2 \pi t+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$
${\left[\therefore A_1=5\right]}$
$x_2=5 \sqrt{2}(\sin 2 \pi t+\cos 2 \pi t)$
$=10 \sin \left(\sin 2 \pi t \cos \frac{\pi}{4}+\cos 2 \pi t \sin \frac{\pi}{4}\right)$
$x_2=10 \sin \left(2 \pi t+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$
${\left[\therefore A _2=10\right]}$
$\frac{ A _1}{ A _2}=\frac{5}{10}=1: 2$
$A_1: A_2=1: 2$

Question 72 Marks
A body of mass m is attached to lower end of a spring whose upper end is fixed. The spring has negligible mass. When the mass m is slightly pulled down and released, it oscillates with a time period of 3s. When the mass m is increased by 1 kg, the time period of oscillations becomes 5s. Find the value of m is kg.
Answer
$
\begin{aligned}
T _1 & =3=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} \\
T _2 & =5=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m+1}{k}} \\
\frac{ T _1}{ T _2} & =\frac{3}{5}=\sqrt{\frac{m}{m+1}} \\
\frac{9}{25} & =\frac{m}{m+1} \Rightarrow 9 m+9=25 m \\
m & =\frac{9}{16} kg

Question 132 Marks
What is meant by phase in SHM?
Answer

Question 142 Marks
Define acceleration in SHM.
Answer
Acceleration: The rate of change of velocity is acceleration.
$
\begin{aligned}
a & =\frac{d v}{d t}=\frac{d}{d t}( A \omega \cos \omega t) \\
& a=-\omega^2 A \sin \omega t=-\omega^2 y \\
\therefore \quad a & =\frac{d^2 y}{d t^2}=-\omega^2 y
