A body is executing simple harmonic motion with frequency \(n\), the frequency of its potential energy is [NEET 2021]
Displacement equation of SHM of frequency ‘ \(n\) ‘ \(x=A \sin (\omega t)=A \sin (2 \pi n t)\)
Now,
Potential energy \(U=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{kx}^2=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{KA}^2 \sin ^2(2 \pi \mathrm{nt})\)
\(
=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{kA}^2\left[\frac{1-\cos (2 \pi(2 \mathrm{n}) \mathrm{t})}{2}\right]
\)
So frequency of potential energy \(=2 n\)
A spring is stretched by \(5 \mathrm{~cm}\) by a force \(10 \mathrm{~N}\). The time period of the oscillations when a mass of \(2 \mathrm{~kg}\) is suspended by it is [NEET 2021]
Given, the mass of suspended, \(m=2 \mathrm{~kg}\) The spring is stretched, \(x=5 \mathrm{~cm}=0.05\) \(\mathrm{m}\)
The constant force applied on the spring, \(F=10 \mathrm{~N}\)
As we know that, spring force,
\(
\begin{aligned}
F & =k x \Rightarrow 10 \mathrm{~N}=k(0.05 \mathrm{~m}) \\
\Rightarrow \quad k & =200 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}
\end{aligned}
\)
Now, time period of the oscillation,
\(
T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} \Rightarrow T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{2}{200}}
\)
Time period, \(T=0.628 \mathrm{~s}\)
Identify the function which represents a periodic motion. [NEET (Oct.) 2020]
(c)
\(\sin \omega t\) and \(\cos \omega t\), both are periodic
function of period \(\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}\).
We know that, the sum of two periodic
functions is also a periodic function,
hence, \(\sin \omega t+\cos \omega t\) represents
periodic motion.
The phase difference between displacement and acceleration of a particle in a simple harmonic motion is [NEET (Sep.) 2020]
(c) Displacement equation of a SHM
\(
y=A \sin (\omega t+\phi)
\)
\(\therefore\) Velocity, \(v=\frac{d y}{d t}=A \omega \cos (\omega t+\phi)\)
Acceleration, \(a=\frac{d v}{d t}\)
or, \(a=-A \omega^2 \sin (\omega t+\phi)\)
\(
\therefore a=A \omega^2 \sin (\omega t+\phi+\pi)
\)
Hence, the phase difference between displacement and acceleration is \(\pi\).
The distance covered by a particle undergoing SHM in one time period is (amplitude \(=\mathrm{A})\) [NEET (Odisha) 2019]
In a simple harmonic motion (SHM) the particle oscillates about its mean position on a straight line.
The particle moves from its mean position (0) to an extreme position (P) and then return to its mean position covering same distance of \(A\).
Then by the conservative force, it is moved in the opposite direction to a point \(Q\) by distance \(A\) and then back to the mean position covering a distance of \(A\). This comprises of one time period as shown below
Hence, in one time period it covers a distance of
\(\)
\begin{aligned}
x & =O P+P O+O Q+Q O \\
& =A+A+A+A=4 A
\end{aligned}
\(\)
Average velocity of a particle executing SHM in one complete vibration is [NEET (National) 2019]
(c) Displacement of the particle in one complete vibration is zero, so, the average velocity in one complete vibration will be
\(
=\frac{\text { Displacement }}{\text { Time interval }}=\frac{y_f-y_i}{T}=0
\)
The displacement of a particle executing simple harmonic motion is given by
\(
y=A_0+A \sin \omega t+B \cos \omega t
\)
Then the amplitude of its oscillation is given by [NEET (National) 2019]
The displacement of given particle is
\(
y=A_0+A \sin \omega t+B \cos \omega t \dots(i)
\)
The general equation of \(\mathrm{SHM}\) can be given as
\(
x=a \sin \omega t+b \cos \omega t \dots(ii)
\)
So, from Eqs. (i)and (ii), we can say that \(A_0\) be the value of mean position, at which \(y=0\).
\(\therefore\) Amplitude, \(R=\sqrt{A^2+B^2+2 A B \cos \theta}\)
As two functions sine and cosine have phase shift to \(90^{\circ}\).
\(
\therefore R=\sqrt{A^2+B^2} \quad\left[\because \cos 90^{\circ}=0\right]
\)
The radius of the circle, the period of revolution, the initial position and the sense of revolution are indicated in the figure below [NEET (National) 2019]
\(y\)-projection of the radius vector of rotating particle \(P\) is
Let \(O\) be the centre of circle, then at \(t=0\), the displacement \(y\) is maximum and have value \(3 \mathrm{~m}\).
As the general equation of displacement of a particle will be in the form
\(
y=A \cos \omega t
\)
Here, \(A=3 \mathrm{~m}\)
Then, \(\omega=\frac{2 \pi}{T}=\frac{2 \pi}{4} \quad\) [given, \(T=4 \mathrm{~s}\) ]
\(
\begin{aligned}
& =\frac{\pi}{2} \\
\therefore \quad y & =3 \cos \left(\frac{\pi}{2} t\right) \text { (in metre) }
\end{aligned}
\)
A mass falls from a height ‘ \(h\) ‘ and its time of fall ‘ \(t\) ‘ is recorded in terms of time period \(T\) of a simple pendulum. On the surface of earth, it is found that \(t=2 \mathrm{~T}\). The entire setup is taken on the surface of another planet whose mass is half of earth and radius the same. The same experiment is repeated and corresponding times are noted as \(\mathrm{t}^{\prime}\) and \(T^{\prime}\). [NEET (Odisha) 2019]
(d) At surface of earth time taken in falling \(h\) distance.
\(
t=\sqrt{\frac{2 h}{g}}
\)
and \(T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\)
Given \(t=2 \mathrm{~T}\)
\(
\frac{t}{T}=2
\)
For surface of other planet
\(
g^{\prime}=\frac{g}{2}
\)
Time taken in falling \(\mathrm{h}\) distance
\(
t^{\prime}=\sqrt{\frac{2 h}{g^{\prime}}}=\sqrt{2} t
\)
and \(T^{\prime}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g^{\prime}}}=\sqrt{2} T\)
Here \(\frac{t^{\prime}}{T^{\prime}}=\frac{\sqrt{2} t}{\sqrt{2} T}=2\)
\(
\therefore \quad t^{\prime}=2 T^{\prime}
\)
A pendulum is hung from the roof of a sufficiently high building and is moving freely to and fro like a simple harmonic oscillator. The acceleration of the bob of the pendulum is \(20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\) at a distance of \(5 \mathrm{~m}\) from the mean position. The time period of oscillation is [NEET 2018]
(b) From the question, acceleration, \(a=20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\), and displacement, \(\mathrm{y}=5 \mathrm{~m}\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& |\mathrm{a}|=\omega^2 \mathrm{y} \\
\Rightarrow & 20=\omega^2(5) \\
\Rightarrow & \omega=2 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}
\end{aligned}
\)
The time period of the pendulum,
\(
\mathrm{T}=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}=\frac{2 \pi}{2}=\pi \mathrm{~s}
\)
A particle executes linear simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of \(3 \mathrm{~cm}\). When the particle is at 2 \(\mathrm{cm}\) from the mean position, the magnitude of its velocity is equal to that of its acceleration. Then, its time period in seconds is [NEET 2017]
Thinking Process Magnitude of velocity of particle when it is at displacement \(x\) from mean position
\(
=\omega \sqrt{A^2-x^2}
\)
Also, magnitude of acceleration of particle in SHM
\(
=\omega^2 x
\)
Given, when \(x=2 \mathrm{~cm}\)
According to question, magnitude of velocity \(=\) acceleration
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \quad|\mathbf{v}|=|\mathbf{a}| \Rightarrow \omega \sqrt{A^2-x^2}=\omega^2 x \\
& \Rightarrow \quad \omega=\frac{\sqrt{A^2-x^2}}{x}=\frac{\sqrt{9-4}}{2} \\
& \Rightarrow \text { Angular velocity } \omega=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2} \\
& \therefore \text { Time period of motion } \\
& \quad T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}=\frac{4 \pi}{\sqrt{5}} \mathrm{~s}
\end{aligned}
\)
A spring of force constant \(k\) is cut into lengths of ratio \(1: 2: 3\). They are connected in series and the new force constant is \(k^{\prime}\). If they are connected in parallel and the force constant is \(k^{\prime \prime}\), then \( k^{\prime}: k^{\prime \prime}\) is [NEET 2017]
(c) Let \(\ell\) be the complete length of the spring. Length when cut in ratio, \(1: 2: 3\) are \(\frac{\ell}{6}, \frac{\ell}{3}\) and \(\frac{\ell}{2}\)
Spring constant \((\mathrm{k}) \propto \frac{1}{\text { length }(\ell)}\)
Spring constant for given segments \(\mathrm{k}_1=6 \mathrm{k}, \mathrm{k}_2=3 \mathrm{k}\) and \(\mathrm{k}_3=2 \mathrm{k}\)
When they are connected in series
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^{\prime}}=\frac{1}{6 \mathrm{k}}+\frac{1}{3 \mathrm{k}}+\frac{1}{2 \mathrm{k}} \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^{\prime}}-\frac{6}{6 \mathrm{k}}
\end{aligned}
\)
\(\therefore\) Force constant \(\mathrm{k}^{\prime}=\mathrm{k}\)
And when they are connected in parallel \(\mathrm{k}^{\prime \prime}=6 \mathrm{k}+3 \mathrm{k}+2 \mathrm{k}\)
\(
\Rightarrow \mathrm{k}^{\prime \prime}=11 \mathrm{k}
\)
Then the ratios
\(
\frac{\mathrm{k}^{\prime}}{\mathrm{k}^{\prime \prime}}=\frac{1}{11} \text { i.e., } \mathrm{k}^{\prime}: \mathrm{k}^{\prime \prime}=1: 11
\)
Note: If a spring of force constant \(K\) is divided into \(n\) equal parts then the spring constant of each part will become \(n k\) and if these \(n\) parts connected in parallel then \(k_{\mathrm{eff}}=n^2 k\).
A body of mass \(m\) is attached to the 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 \(3 \mathrm{~s}\). When the mass \(m\) is increased by \(1 \mathrm{~kg}\), the time period of oscillations becomes \(5 \mathrm{~s}\). The value of \(m\) in \(\mathrm{kg}\) is [NEET 2016]
As we know that
Time period, \(T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}\)
Case I:
\(
T_1=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} \dots(i)
\)
Case II: When the mass mis increased by
\(1 \mathrm{~kg}\), then \(=m+1\)
\(T_2=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m+1}{k}} \dots(ii)\)
From Eqs. (ii) and (i), we get
\(
\begin{aligned}
\frac{T_2}{T_1} & =\sqrt{\frac{m+1}{m}} \\
\Rightarrow \frac{5}{3} & =\sqrt{\frac{m+1}{m}} \Rightarrow \frac{25}{9}=\frac{m+1}{m} \\
\Rightarrow \frac{25}{9} & =1+\frac{1}{m} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{m}=\frac{16}{9} \\
\therefore & m=\frac{9}{16} \mathrm{~kg}
\end{aligned}
\)
When two displacements represented by \(y_1=a \sin (\omega t)\) and \(y_2=b \cos (\omega t)\) are superimposed, the motion is [CBSE AIPMT 2015]
The two displacements equations are \(\mathrm{y}_1=\mathrm{a} \sin (\omega \mathrm{t})\)
and \(\mathrm{y}_2=\mathrm{b} \cos (\omega \mathrm{t})=\mathrm{b} \sin \left(\omega \mathrm{t}+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
\mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{eq}} & =\mathrm{y}_1+\mathrm{y}_2 \\
& =\mathrm{a} \sin \omega \mathrm{t}+\mathrm{b} \cos \omega \mathrm{t}
\end{aligned}
\)
\(
=\mathrm{a} \sin \omega \mathrm{t}+\mathrm{b} \sin \left(\omega \mathrm{t}+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)
\)
Since the frequencies for both SHMs are same, resultant motion will be SHM.
Now amplitude, \(A_{e q}=\sqrt{a^2+b^2+2 a b \cos \frac{\pi}{2}}\)
\(
\Rightarrow A_{e q}=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}
\)
A particle is executing SHM along a straight line. Its velocities at distances \(x_1\) and \(x_2\) from the mean position are \(v_1\) and \(v_2\), respectively. Its time period is [CBSE AIPMT 2015]
(b) As we know, for particles undergoing SHM,
\(
\begin{aligned}
& V=\omega \sqrt{A^2-X^2} \\
& V_1^2=\omega^2\left(A^2-x_1^2\right) \\
& V_2^2=\omega^2\left(A^2-x_2^2\right)
\end{aligned}
\)
Substracting we get,
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{V_1^2}{\omega^2}+x_1^2=\frac{V_2^2}{\omega^2}+x_2^2 \\
& \Rightarrow \quad \frac{V_1^2-V_2^2}{\omega^2}=x_2^2-x_1^2 \\
& \Rightarrow \quad \omega=\sqrt{\frac{V_1^2-V_2^2}{x_2^2-x_1^2}} \\
& \Rightarrow \quad T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{x_2^2-x_1^2}{V_1^2-V_2^2}}
\end{aligned}
\)
A particle is executing a simple harmonic motion. Its maximum acceleration is \(\alpha\) and maximum velocity is \(\beta\). Then, its time period of vibration will be [CBSE AIPMT 2015]
For a particle executing SHM, we have maximum acceleration,
\(
\alpha=A \omega^2 \dots(i)
\)
where, \(A\) is maximum amplitude and \(\omega\) is angular velocity of a particle.
Maximum velocity, \(\beta=A \omega \dots(ii)\)
Dividing Eq. (i) by Eq. (ii), we get
\(
\frac{\alpha}{\beta}=\frac{A \omega^2}{A \omega} \Rightarrow \frac{\alpha}{\beta}=\omega=\frac{2 \pi}{T}
\)
i.e. \(T=\frac{2 \pi \beta}{\alpha}\)
Thus, its time period of vibration,
\(
T=\frac{2 \pi \beta}{\alpha}
\)
The oscillation of a body on a smooth horizontal surface is represented by the equation,
\(
\mathrm{X}=\mathrm{A} \cos (\omega \mathrm{t})
\)
where \(\mathrm{X}=\) displacement at time \(\mathrm{t}\)
\(\omega=\) frequency of oscillation
Which one of the following graphs shows correctly the variation \(a\) with \(t\)? [CBSE AIPMT 2014]
\(
\begin{aligned}
& A s, x=A \cos \omega t \\
& \therefore v=\frac{d x}{d t}=-A \omega \sin \omega t \dots(i) \\
& \text { and } a=\frac{d^2 x}{d t^2}=-A \omega^2 \cos \omega t \dots(ii)
\end{aligned}
\)
We can find the correct graph by putting different values of \(t\) in Eq. (ii).
At \(t=0, \quad a=-A \omega^2\)
At \(t=\frac{T}{4}, a=-A \omega^2 \cos \left(\frac{2 \pi}{T} \times \frac{T}{4}\right)=0\)
At \(t=\frac{T}{2}, a=-A \omega^2 \cos \left(\frac{2 \pi}{T} \times \frac{T}{2}\right)\)
\(=-A \omega^2 \cos \pi=+A \omega^2\)
At \(t=\frac{3 T}{4}, a=-A \omega^2 \cos \left(\frac{2 \pi}{T} \times \frac{3 T}{4}\right)=0\)
At \(t=T, a=-A \omega^2 \cos \left(\frac{2 \pi}{T} \times T\right)=-A \omega^2\)
This condition is represented by graph in option (c).
A particle of mass \(m\) oscillates along \(x\)-axis according to equation \(x=a \sin \omega t\). The nature of the graph between momentum and displacement of the particle is [NEET Kar. 2013]
(d) Explanation:
\(
x=a \sin \omega t \text { or } \frac{x}{a}=\sin \omega t \dots(i)
[latex]
Velocity, [latex]v=\frac{d x}{d t}=a \omega \cos \omega t[latex]
[latex]
\frac{v}{a \omega}=\cos \omega t \dots(ii)
[latex]
Squaring and adding (i) and (ii), we get
[latex]
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{v^2}{a^2 \omega^2}=\sin ^2 \omega t+\cos ^2 \omega t \\
& \frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{v^2}{a^2 \omega^2}=1
\end{aligned}
\)
It is an equation of ellipse.
Hence, the graph between velocity and displacement is an ellipse.
Momentum of the particle \(=\mathrm{mv}\)
\(\therefore\) The nature of graph of the momentum and displacement is the same as that of velocity and displacement.
The damping force on an oscillator is directly proportional to the velocity. The units of the constant of proportionality are [CBSE AIPMT 2012]
(c) Given,
Damping force \(\propto\) velocity
\(F \propto v \Rightarrow \quad F=k v\)
\(
k=\frac{F}{v} \Rightarrow[k]=\frac{\left[\mathrm{kgms}^{-2}\right]}{\left[\mathrm{ms}^{-1}\right]}=\mathrm{kgs}^{-1}
\)
The equation of a simple harmonic wave is given by
\(
y=3 \sin \frac{\pi}{2}(50 t-x)
\)
Where \(x\) and \(y\) are in meters and \(t\) is in seconds. The ratio of maximum particle velocity to the wave velocity is [CBSE AIPMT 2012]
(b) \(y=3 \sin \frac{\pi}{2}(50 t-x)\)
\(y=3 \sin \left(25 \pi t-\frac{\pi}{2} x\right)\) on comparing with the standard wave equation \(y=a \sin (\omega t-k x)\)
Wave velocity \(v=\frac{\omega}{k}=\frac{25 \pi}{\pi / 2}=50 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sec}\).
The velocity of particle
\(
\begin{aligned}
& v_p=\frac{\partial y}{\partial t}=75 \pi \cos \left(25 \pi t-\frac{\pi}{2} x\right) \\
& v_{p \max }=75 \pi \\
& \text { then } \frac{v_{p_{\max }}}{v}=\frac{75 \pi}{50}=\frac{3 \pi}{2}
\end{aligned}
\)
Out of the following functions, representing motion of a particle, which represents SHM?[CBSE AIPMT 2011]
(A) \(y=\sin \omega t-\cos \omega t\)
(B) \(y=\sin ^3 \omega t\)
(C) \(\mathrm{y}=5 \cos \left(\frac{3 \pi}{4}-3 \omega \mathrm{t}\right)\)
(D) \(\mathrm{y}=1+\omega \mathrm{t}+\omega^2 \mathrm{t}^2\)
(c) Only functions given in (A) & (C) represent SHM.
\(y=A \sin \omega t+B \cos \omega t \Rightarrow y=a \sin (\omega t+\phi)\). This is also a equation of S.H.M where \(\phi=\sqrt{A^2+B^2}\) \(\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{a} \cos \phi, \mathrm{B}=\mathrm{a} \sin \phi\) and \(\theta=\tan ^{-1} \frac{B}{A}\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \text { (a) } y=\sin w t-\cos w t \\
& =\sqrt{ } 2\left\{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \sin w t-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cos w t\right\} \\
& =\sqrt{ } 2\left\{\cos 45^{\circ} \cdot \sin w t-\sin 45^{\circ} \cdot \cos w t\right\} \\
& =\sqrt{ } 2 \sin \left(w t-45^{\circ}\right)
\end{aligned}
\)
This is in the form of \(\mathrm{y}=\operatorname{Asin}(\mathrm{wt} \pm \emptyset)\)
So, this is the equation of SHM .
Period \(=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}\)
(b) \(\sin ^3 w t\)
Use formula of \(\sin 3 x=3 \sin x-4 \sin ^3 x\)
So, \(\sin ^3 w t=\frac{1}{4}[3 \sin w t-\sin 3 w t]\)
Hence, you observed that this equation is a combination of two SHM. Hence, this is not SHM. But periodic motion.
Period = LCM of period \(\{\) sinwt, \(\sin 3 \mathrm{wt}\}\)
Period of sinwt \(=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}\)
period of \(\sin 3 \omega t=\frac{2 \pi}{3 \omega}\)
so, period \(=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}\)
(c) \(5 \cos \left(\frac{3 \pi}{4}-3 w t\right)\)
\(=5 \cos \left\{-\left(3 w t-\frac{3 \pi}{4}\right)\right\}\)
\(=5 \cos \left(3 \omega t-\frac{3 \pi}{4}\right)[\cos (-\emptyset)=\cos \emptyset]\)
Hence, this is SHM .
Period \(=\frac{2 \pi}{2 \omega}=\frac{\pi}{\omega}\)
(d) \(x=1+w t+w^2 t^2\)
At \(x \rightarrow \infty, t \rightarrow \infty\)
There is no repetition of values. hence, this is neither periodic nor SHM.
Two waves are represented by the equations
\(y_1=a \sin (\omega t+k x+\) 0.57)mand
\(y_2=a \cos (\omega t+k x) m\), where \(x\) is in
metre and \(t\) in second. The phase difference between them is [CBSE AIPMT 2011]
(d)
According to question,
\(\begin{array}{ll} & y_1=a \sin (\omega t+k x+0.57) \\ \text { and } & y_2=a \cos (\omega t+k x) \\ \text { or } & y_2=a \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2}+\omega t+k x\right)\end{array}\)
As phase difference,
\(
\begin{aligned}
\Delta \phi & =\phi_2-\phi_1=\frac{\pi}{2}-0.57 \\
& =1.57-0.57=1 \mathrm{rad}
\end{aligned}
\)
A particle of mass \(m\) is released from rest and follows a parabolic path as shown. Assuming that the displacement of the mass from the origin is small, which graph correctly depicts the position of the particle as a function of time [CBSE AIPMT 2011]
We have potential energy \(V=x^2\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow F=-\frac{d v}{d x}=-\frac{d}{d x}\left(x^2\right)=-2 x \\
& \Rightarrow \quad \frac{m^2 x}{d t^2}=-2 x \\
& \Rightarrow\left(\frac{d^2}{d t^2}+\frac{2}{m} x\right)=0 \\
\end{aligned}
\)
\(
\Rightarrow \quad x=A \sin (\omega t+\phi)
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \text { At } t=0, x_{\max } \Rightarrow x_{\max }=A(\sin \phi) \\
& \Rightarrow A=A \sin \phi \Rightarrow \phi=\frac{\pi}{2} \\
& \Rightarrow \quad x=A \cos \omega t
\end{aligned}
\)
The given velocity-position graph depicts that the motion of the particle is SHM.
In SHM, at \(t=0, \mathrm{v}=0\) and \(\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{x}_{\text {max }}\)
So, option (a) is correct.
The displacement of a particle along the \(x\)-axis is given by \(x=a \sin ^2 \omega t\). The motion of the particle corresponds to [CBSE AIPMT 2010]
(a) \(\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{a} \sin ^2 \omega \mathrm{t}=\frac{a}{2}(1-\cos 2 \omega \mathrm{t})\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{d x}{d t}=\frac{a}{2} 2 \omega \sin 2 \omega t \\
& \Rightarrow \quad \frac{d^2 x}{d t^2}=\frac{4 \omega^2 a}{2} \cdot \cos 2 \omega t
\end{aligned}
\)
This represents an S. H. M. of frequency
\(
=\frac{\omega}{\pi}
\)
Two particles are oscillating along two close parallel straight lines side by side, with the same frequency and amplitudes. They pass each other, moving in opposite directions when their displacement is half of the amplitude. The mean positions of the two particles lie on a straight line perpendicular to the paths of the two particles. The phase difference is [CBSE AIPMT 2011M]
(b) Equation of SHM is given by \(x=A \sin (\omega t+\delta)\) \((\omega \mathrm{t}+\delta)\) is called phase.
When \(x=\frac{A}{2}\), then \(\sin (\omega t+\delta)=\frac{1}{2}\) \(\Rightarrow \omega \mathrm{t}+\delta=\frac{\pi}{6}\)
or \(\phi_1=\frac{\pi}{6}\)
For second particle,
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \phi_2=\pi-\frac{\pi}{6}=\frac{5 \pi}{6} \\
& \therefore \phi=\phi_2-\phi_1 \\
& =\frac{4 \pi}{6}=\frac{2 \pi}{3}
\end{aligned}
\)
The period of oscillation of a mass \(M\) suspended from a spring of negligible mass is \(T\). If along with it another mass \(M\) is also suspended, the period of oscillation will now be [CBSE AIPMT 2010]
(d)
Time period of spring pendulum,
\(
T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{M}{k}} \text {. }
\)
If mass is doubled then time period
\(
T^{\prime}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{2 M}{k}}=\sqrt{2} T
\)
Which one of the following equations of motion represents simple harmonic motion? [CBSE AIPMT 2009], (where, \(k_{,} k_0, k_1\) and \(a\) are all positive.)
(b)
As we know that, the condition for a body executing SHM is \(F=-k x\)
So,
\(
a=\frac{F}{m}=-\frac{k}{m} x
\)
or \(\quad a=-\omega^2 x\)
Acceleration \(\propto-\) (displacement)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& A \propto-y \\
& A=-\omega^2 y \\
& A=-\frac{k}{m} y \\
& A=-k y
\end{aligned}
\)
Here, \(y=x+a\)
\(\therefore \quad\) Acceleration \(=-k(x+a)\)
A simple pendulum performs simple harmonic motion about \(x=0\) with an amplitude \(a\) and time period \(T\). The speed of the pendulum at \(x=\frac{a}{2}\) will be [CBSE AIPMT 2009]
(d)
Concept Use the equation of motion of a body executing SHM.
i.e. \(\quad x=a \sin \omega t\)
As we know, the velocity of body executing SHM is given by
\(
\begin{aligned}
v & =\frac{d x}{d t}=a \omega \cos \omega t=a \omega \sqrt{1-\sin ^2 \omega t} \\
& =\omega \sqrt{a^2-x^2}
\end{aligned}
\)
Here, \(\quad x=\frac{a}{2}\)

A block of mass \(\mathrm{M}\) is attached to the lower end of a vertical spring. The spring is hung from a ceiling and has force constant value \(k\). The mass is released from rest with the spring initially unstretched. The maximum extension produced in the length of the spring will be: [CBSE AIPMT 2009]
(d) Restoring force, \(f^{\prime}=-k x\)
where \(x\) is the extension produced in the spring.

Two simple harmonic motions of angular frequency \(100 \mathrm{rad} \mathrm{s}^{-1}\) and \(1000 \mathrm{rad} \mathrm{s}^{-1}\) have the same displacement amplitude. The ratio of their maximum accelerations is [CBSE AIPMT 2008]
(b) Maximum acceleration of a particle in the simple harmonic motion is directly proportional to the square of angular frequency i.e.,
\(
\text { i.e., a } \propto \mathrm{\omega}^2
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{\omega_1^2}{\omega_2^2}=\frac{(100)^2}{(1000)^2}=\frac{1}{100} \\
& \Rightarrow a_1: a_2=1: 10^2 .

A point performs simple harmonic oscillation of period \(\mathrm{T}\) and the equation of motion is given by \(x=a \sin (\omega t+\pi / 6)\). After the elapse of what fraction of the time period the velocity of the point will be equal to half of its maximum velocity? [CBSE AIPMT 2008]
(d) We have \(x=\operatorname{asin}\left(\omega t+\frac{\pi}{6}\right)\)
\(\therefore\) Velocity, \(\mathrm{v}=\frac{\mathrm{dx}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{a} \omega \cos \left(\omega \mathrm{t}+\frac{\pi}{6}\right)\)
Maximum velocity \(=a \omega\)
According to question,
\(
\frac{a \omega}{2}=a \omega \cos \left(\omega t+\frac{\pi}{6}\right)
\)
or, \(\cos \left(\omega t+\frac{\pi}{6}\right)=\frac{1}{2}=\cos 60^{\circ}\) or \(\cos \frac{p}{3}\)
\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{wt}+\frac{\mathrm{p}}{6}=\frac{\mathrm{p}}{3}\)
\(w t=\frac{p}{3}-\frac{p}{6}\) or, \(w t=\frac{p}{6}\)
\(
\text { or, } \frac{2 \mathrm{p}}{\mathrm{T}} \cdot \mathrm{t}=\frac{\mathrm{p}}{6} \Rightarrow \mathrm{t}=\frac{\mathrm{T}}{12}
\)
The particle executing simple harmonic motion has a kinetic energy \(K_0 \cos ^2 \omega t\). The maximum values of the potential energy and the total energy are respectively [CBSE AIPMT 2007]
(c) We have, \(U+K=E\)
where, \(U=\) potential energy, \(K=\) Kinetic energy, \(E=\) Total energy.
Also, we know that, in S.H.M., when potential energy is maximum, K.E. is zero and vice-versa.
\(
\therefore U_{\max }+0=E \Rightarrow U_{\max }=E
\)
Further,
\(
K . E .=\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 a^2 \cos ^2 \omega t
\)
But by question, \(K . E .=K_0 \cos ^2 \omega t\)
\(
\therefore K_0=\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 a^2
\)
Hence, total energy, \(E=\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 a^2=K_0\)
\(
\therefore U_{\max }=K_0, \& E=K_0 \text {. }

A particle executes simple harmonic oscillation with an amplitude \(a\). The period of oscillation is \(T\). The minimum time taken by the particle to travel half of the amplitude from the equilibrium position is [CBSE AIPMT 2007]
(c)
Let displacement equation of particle executing SHM is
\(
x=a \sin \omega t
\)
As particle travels half of the amplitude from the equilibrium position, so
\(
x=\frac{a}{2}
\)
Therefore, \(\frac{a}{2}=a \sin \omega t\)
or \(\quad \sin \omega t=\frac{1}{2}=\sin \frac{\pi}{6}\)
or \(\omega t=\frac{\pi}{6}\) or \(t=\frac{\pi}{6 \omega}\)
or \(\quad t=\frac{\pi}{6\left(\frac{2 \pi}{T}\right)} \quad\left(\right.\) as, \(\left.\omega=\frac{2 \pi}{T}\right)\)
or \(t=\frac{T}{12}\)
Hence, the particle travels half of the amplitude from the equilibrium in \(\frac{T}{12} \mathrm{~s}\).
This is the minimum time taken by the particle to travel half of the amplitude from the equilibrium position.
A mass of \(2.0 \mathrm{~kg}\) is put on a flat pan attached to a vertical spring fixed on the ground as shown in the figure. The mass of the spring and the pan is negligible. When pressed slightly and released the mass executes a simple harmonic motion. The spring constant is \(200 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}\). What should be the minimum amplitude of the motion, so that the mass gets detached from the pan? (Take \(g=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\) ) [CBSE AIPMT 2007]
(b)
Let the minimum amplitude of SHM be \(a\).
Restoring force on spring
\(
F=k a
\)
Restoring force is balanced by weight \(\mathrm{mg}\) of block. For mass to execute simple harmonic motion of amplitude \(a\).
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore k a=m g \text { or } a=\frac{m g}{k} \\
& \text { Here, } m=2 \mathrm{~kg}, k=200 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m} \text {, } \\
& g=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2 \\
& \therefore \quad a=\frac{2 \times 10}{200}=\frac{10}{100} \mathrm{~m} \\
& =\frac{10}{100} \times 100 \mathrm{~cm}=10 \mathrm{~cm} \\
&
\end{aligned}
\)
Hence, minimum amplitude of the motion should be \(10 \mathrm{~cm}\), so that the mass gets detached from the pan.
The phase difference between the instantaneous velocity and acceleration of a particle executing simple harmonic motion is [CBSE AIPMT 2007]
(d) Let \(y=A \sin \omega t\)

\)
Acceleration \(=-A \omega^2 \sin \omega t\)
\(
=\mathrm{A} \omega^2 \sin (\pi+\omega t)

A rectangular block of mass \(m\) and area of cross-section A floats in a liquid of density \(\rho\). If it is given a small vertical displacement from equilibrium, it undergoes oscillation with a time period \(T\). Then [CBSE AIPMT 2006]
(b)
Let block be displaced through \(x \mathrm{~m}\), then weight of displaced water or upthrust, (upwards) is given by Archimedes’ principle
\(
F_b=-\operatorname{Ax \rho g}
\)
where, \(A\) is the a
rea of cross-section of the block and pis its density. This must be equal to force (=ma) applied, where, \(m\) is the mass of the block and \(a\) is the acceleration.
\(
\therefore m a=-A \times \rho g \text { or } a=-\frac{A \rho g}{m} x=-\omega^2 x
\)
This is the equation of simple harmonic motion. Time period of oscillation,
\(
T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{A \rho g}} \Rightarrow T \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{A}}
\)
The potential energy of a long spring when stretched by \(2 \mathrm{~cm}\) is U. If the spring is stretched by \(8 \mathrm{~cm}\), the potential energy stored in it is [CBSE AIPMT 2006]
(b) The potential energy of a spring \(=\frac{1}{2} k x^2\) \(U=\frac{1}{2} k \cdot(2)^2=4 \times \frac{1}{2} k\) For \(\mathrm{x}=8 \mathrm{~cm}\), Energy stored \(=\frac{1}{2} k \cdot(8)^2=64 \times \frac{1}{2} k\) \(=64 \times \frac{U}{4}=16 U\)
A particle executing simple harmonic motion of amplitude \(5 \mathrm{~cm}\) has maximum speed of \(314 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}\). The frequency of its oscillation is [CBSE AIPMT 2005]
(d)
Maximum speed of a particle executing SHM is given by,
\(
v_{\max }=a \omega=a(2 \pi n) \Rightarrow n=\frac{v_{\max }}{2 \pi a}
\)
where, \(a=\) amplitude of oscillation
\(n=\) frequency of oscillation
Here, \(v_{\max }=31.4 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}, a=5 \mathrm{~cm}\)
Substituting, the given values, we have
\(
n=\frac{31.4}{2 \times 3.14 \times 5}=1 \mathrm{~Hz}
\)
Which one of the following statements is true for the speed \(v\) and the acceleration \(\alpha\) of a particle executing simple harmonic motion? [CBSE AIPMT 2004]
(d)
In simple harmonic motion, the displacement equation is, \(x=a \sin \omega t\) where, \(a\) is the amplitude of the motion.
Velocity, \(\quad v=\frac{d x}{d t}=a \omega \cos \omega t\)
\(v=a \omega \sqrt{1-\sin ^2 \omega t}\)
\(v=\omega \sqrt{a^2-x^2} \dots(i)\)
\(
\begin{gathered}
\text { Acceleration, } \alpha=\frac{d v}{d t}=\frac{d}{d t}(a \omega \cos \omega t) \\
\alpha=-a \omega^2 \sin \omega t \\
\alpha=-\omega^2 x
\end{gathered}
\)
When \(x=0, v=a \omega=v_{m x}\)
\(
\alpha=0=\alpha_{\text {min }}
\)
When \(x=a, v=0=v_{\mathrm{mn}}\)
\(
\alpha=-\omega^2 a=\alpha_{\max }
\)
Hence, it is clear that when \(v\) is maximum, then \(\alpha\) is minimum (i.e. zero) or vice-versa.
Two springs of spring constants \(k_1\) and \(k_2\) are joined in series. The effective spring constant of the combination is given by [CBSE AIPMT 2004]
(d)
Let us consider two springs of spring constants \(k_1\) and \(k_2\) joined in series as shown in the figure.
Under a force \(F\), they will stretch by \(y_1\) and \(y_2\).
So, \(\quad y=y_1+y_2\)
or \(\frac{F}{k}=\frac{F_1}{k_1}+\frac{F_2}{k_2}\)
But as springs are massless, so force on them must be the same i.e. \(F_1=F_2=F\).
So, \(\frac{1}{k}=\frac{1}{k_1}+\frac{1}{k_2}\) or \(k=\frac{k_1 k_2}{k_1+k_2}\)
The potential energy of a simple harmonic oscillator when the particle is half way to its end point is [CBSE AIPMT 2003]
(d) \(P \cdot E .=\frac{1}{2} k x^2=E\)
At half way
\(
P . E .=\frac{1}{2} k\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)^2=\frac{\frac{1}{2} k x^2}{4}=\frac{E}{4}
\)
A particle of mass m oscillates with simple harmonic motion between points \(x_1\) and \(x_2\), the equilibrium position being O. Its potential energy is plotted. It will be as given below in the graph [CBSE AIPMT 2003]
Potential energy is given by \(U=\frac{1}{2} k x^2\)
The corresponding graph is shown in figure.
At equilibrium position \((x=0)[latex], potential energy is minimum. At extreme positions [latex]x_1\) and \(x_2\), its potential energies are
\(
\begin{aligned}
U_1 & =\frac{1}{2} k x_1^2 \\
\text { and } \quad U_2 & =\frac{1}{2} k x_2^2
\end{aligned}
\)
In the above graph, the dotted line (curve) is shown for kinetic energy. This graph shows that kinetic energy is maximum at mean position and zero at extreme positions \(x_1\) and \(x_2\).
Note:
Potential energy \(\propto(\text { Amplitude })^2\)
\(\propto\) (Displacement \()^2\)
P.E.is maximum at maximum distance.
P.E. is zero at equilibrium point.
P.E. curve is parabolic.
The time period of a mass suspended from a spring is \(T\). If the spring is cut into four equal parts and the same mass is suspended from one of the parts, then the new time period will be [CBSE AIPMT 2003]

In case of a forced vibration, the resonance wave becomes very sharp when the [CBSE AIPMT 2003]
(b) The resonance wave becomes very sharp when damping force is small.
Forced vibration
1. Such vibration where a body or a system is made to vibrate under the action of a strong impressed periodic force with a frequency equal to that of the impressed force, which is different from the natural frequency of the system, is called forced vibration.
2. We know that the amplitude of forced vibration is defined by the form, \(a=\frac{f_o}{2 k \omega}\), where, \(f_o=\frac{F_o}{m}\) ( \(F_o\) is the driving force at time zero and \(m\) is the mass of the oscillator), \(k\) is the damping coefficient, and \(\omega\) is the frequency.
Amplitudes at resonance
1. As we know, the amplitude of resonance is inversely proportional to the damping coefficient \(k\), amplitude, \(a=\frac{f_o}{2 k \omega}\).
2. Resonance will fast when amplitude will maximum. The amplitude will be maximum when the damping coefficient will minimum.
3. So, at \(k=0, a=\infty\) i.e. if we decrease the damping force, the resonance wave becomes very fast.
On applying forced vibrations, the resonance wave becomes very fast when the damping force is small.
The displacement of particle between maximum potential energy position and maximum kinetic energy position in simple harmonic motion is [CBSE AIPMT 2002]
(b) P.E. of particle executing S.H.M. \(=\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 x^2\)
At \(x=a\), P.E. is maximum i.e. \(=\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 a^2\) K.E. \(=\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2\left(a^2-x^2\right)\)
At \(x=0\), K.E. is maximum. Hence, displacement from position of maximum Kinetic energy \(= \pm a\).
A body of mass M, executes vertical SHM with periods \(t_1\) and \(t_2\), when separately attached to spring \(A\) and spring \(B\) respectively. The period of SHM, when the body executes SHM, as shown in the figure is \(t_0\). Then [CBSE AIPMT 2002]
\(
\text { (d) The time period of spring mass system, }
\)
\(
\mathrm{T}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{K}}}
\)
\(
\therefore \quad \mathrm{t}_1=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{k}_1}} \dots(i)
\)
\(
\mathrm{t}_2=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{k}_2}} \dots(ii)
\)
When springs are connected in parallel then \(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{eff}}=\mathrm{k}_1+\mathrm{k}_2\)
So, \(\mathrm{t}_0=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{eff}}}} \Rightarrow 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\left(\mathrm{k}_{1+\mathrm{k}_2}\right)}}\dots(iii)\)
from (i), \(\frac{1}{\mathrm{t}_1^2}=\frac{1}{4 \pi^2} \times \frac{\mathrm{k}_1}{\mathrm{~m}}\)
from(ii), \(\frac{1}{t_2^2}=\frac{1}{4 \pi^2} \times \frac{k_2}{m}\)
from (iii), \(\frac{1}{\mathrm{t}_0^2}=\frac{1}{4 \pi^2} \times \frac{\left(\mathrm{k}_1+\mathrm{k}_2\right)}{\mathrm{m}}\)
from above expressions,
\(
\frac{1}{t_0^2}=\frac{1}{t_1^2}+\frac{1}{t_2^2}
\)
Notes:
\(
\begin{aligned}
& t=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} \\
& \Rightarrow k=\text { Const } . t^{-2}
\end{aligned}
\)
Here the springs are joined in parallel. So
\(
k_0=k_1+k_2
\)
where \(\mathrm{k}_0\) is resultant force constant
\(\therefore\) Const. \(t_0^{-2}=\) Const. \(t_1^{-2}+\) Const. \(t_2^{-2}\)
or, \(t_0^{-2}=t_1^{-2}+t_2^{-2}\)
The amplitude of a pendulum executing simple harmonic motion falls to \(1 / 3\) the original value after 100 oscillations. The amplitude falls to \(S\) times the original value after 200 oscillations, where \(S\) is [CBSE AIPMT 2002]
In case of damped vibration, amplitude at any instant \(t\) is given by
\(a=a_0 e^{-b t}\)
where, \(a_0=\) initial amplitude
\(b=\) damping constant
Case-1: \(t=100 T\) and \(a=\frac{a_0}{3}\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \quad \frac{a_0}{3}=a_0 e^{-b(100 T)} \\
& \Rightarrow \quad e^{-100 \text { bT }}=\frac{1}{3} \\
& \text { Case II: } t=200 T \\
& a=a_0 e^{-b t}=a_0 e^{-b(200 T)} \\
& =a_0\left(e^{-100 b T}\right)^2=a_0 \times\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^2=\frac{a_0}{9} \\
&
\end{aligned}
\)
Thus, after 200 oscillations, amplitude will become \(\frac{1}{9}\) times.
There is a body having mass \(\mathrm{m}\) and performing S.H.M. with amplitude \(a\). There is a restoring force \(F=-k x\). The total energy of body depends upon [CBSE AIPMT 2001]
In SHM, the total energy
\(=\) potential energy + kinetic energy
or
\(
\begin{aligned}
E & =U+K \\
& =\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 x^2+\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2\left(a^2-x^2\right) \\
& =\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 a^2=\frac{1}{2} k a^2
\end{aligned}
\)
where,\(k=\) force constant \(=m \omega^2\)
Thus, total energy depends on \(k\) and \(a\).
A simple pendulum has a metal bob, which is negatively charged. If it is allowed to oscillate above a positively charged metallic plate, then its time period will [CBSE AIPMT 2001]
(b) We know that the time period (T)
\(
=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g^{\prime}}} \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{g^{\prime}}} \quad \mathrm{g}^{\prime}=\mathrm{g}_{\text {effective }}
\)
Since the negatively charged bob is attracted by the positively charged plate, therefore acceleration due to gravity will increase and time period will decrease.
Two simple harmonic motions given by, \(x=a \sin (\omega t+\delta)\) and \(y=a \sin \left(\omega t+\delta+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\) act on \(a\) particle simultaneously, then the motion of particle will be [CBSE AIPMT 2000]
Two simple harmonic motions can be written as
\(
\begin{gathered}
x=a \sin (\omega t+\delta) \dots(i)\\
\text { and } \quad y=a \sin \left(\omega t+\delta+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)
\end{gathered}
\)
or \(\quad y=a \cos (\omega t+\delta) \dots(ii)\)
Squaring and adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we obtain
\(
x^2+y^2=a^2\left[\sin ^2(\omega t+\delta)+\cos ^2(\omega t+\delta)\right]
\)
or \(x^2+y^2=a^2\left(\because \sin ^2 \theta+\cos ^2 \theta=1\right)\)
This is the equation of a circle.
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \text { At }(\omega t+\delta)=0 ; x=0, y=a \\
& \operatorname{At}(\omega t+\delta)=\frac{\pi}{2} ; x=a, y=0 \\
& \operatorname{At}(\omega t+\delta)=\pi ; x=0, y=-a \\
& \operatorname{At}(\omega t+\delta)=\frac{3 \pi}{2} ; x=-a, y=0 \\
& \operatorname{At}(\omega t+\delta)=2 \pi ; x=0, y=a
\end{aligned}
\)
Thus, it is obvious that the motion of the particle is traversed in the clockwise direction.
A pendulum is displaced to an angle \(\theta\) from its equilibrium position, then it will pass through its mean position with a velocity \(v\) equal to [CBSE AIPMT 2000]
If \(l\) is the length of pendulum and \(\theta\) the angular amplitude, then height
\(
\begin{aligned}
h & =A B-A C \\
& =l-l \cos \theta \\
& =l(1-\cos \theta) \ldots(i) \\
\end{aligned}
\)
At the point \(P\) (maximum displacement position i.e. extreme position), potential energy is maximum and kinetic energy is zero. At the point \(B\) (mean or equilibrium position) potential energy is minimum and kinetic energy is maximum, so from the principle of conservation of energy.
\(
(P E+K E) \text { at } P=(K E+P E) \text { at } B
\)
or \(m g h+0=\frac{1}{2} m v^2+0\)
or \(\quad v=\sqrt{2 g h} \dots(ii)\)
Substituting the value of \(h\) from Eq. (i) into Eq. (ii), we get
\(
v=\sqrt{2 g l(1-\cos \theta)}
\)
Masses \(M_A\) and \(M_B\) hanging from the ends of strings of lengths \(L_A\) and \(L_B\) are executing simple harmonic motions. If their frequencies are \(f_A=\) \(2 f_B\), then [CBSE AIPMT 2000]
(c)
\(f_A=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{L_A}}\) and \(f_B=\frac{f_A}{2}=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{L_B}}\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \frac{f_A}{f_{A / 2}}=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{L_A}} \times 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L_B}{g}} \\
& \Rightarrow 2=\sqrt{\frac{L_B}{L_A}} \Rightarrow 4=\frac{L_B}{L_A},
\end{aligned}
\)
regardless of mass.
The time period of a simple pendulum is \(2 \mathrm{~s}\). If its length is increased by 4 times, then its period becomes [CBSE AIPMT 1999]
(d) \(T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{g}} \quad T \propto \sqrt{\ell}\)
If \(\ell\) is increased by 4 times, time period will increase by two times.
Explanation:
Time period of simple pendulum
\(
T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}
\)
where, \(l\) = length of pendulum
\(g=\) acceleration due to gravity
i.e. \(T \propto \sqrt{l}\)
Hence, \(\quad \frac{T_2}{T_1}=\sqrt{\frac{l_2}{l_1}} \dots(i)\)
Given, \(l_2=4 l_1, T_1=2 \mathrm{~s}\)
Substituting the values in Eq. (i), we get
\(
T_2=\sqrt{\frac{4 l_1}{l_1}} \times 2=2 \times 2=4 \mathrm{~s}
\)
Resonance is an example of [CBSE AIPMT 1999]
(b) We know that if the frequency of an external forced oscillation is equal to the natural frequency of the body, then the amplitude of the forced oscillation of the body becomes very large. This phenomenon is known as resonant vibration. Therefore, resonance is an example of forced vibration.
A particle executing S.H.M. has amplitude \(0.01 \mathrm{~m}\) and frequency \(60 \mathrm{~Hz}\). The maximum acceleration of the particle is [CBSE AIPMT 1999]
(a) Amplitude \((\mathrm{A})=0.01 \mathrm{~m}\), Frequency \(=60 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
Maximum acceleration
\(
\begin{aligned}
& =A \omega^2=0.01 \times(2 \pi n)^2 \\
& =0.01 \times 4 \pi^2 \times 60 \times 60=144 \pi^2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sec}^2
\end{aligned}
\)
A mass \(m\) is vertically suspended from a spring of negligible mass, the system oscillates with a frequency \(n\). What will be the frequency of the system, if a mass \(4 \mathrm{~m}\) is suspended from the same spring? [CBSE AIPMT 1998]
(c) \(n=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\)
\(
n^{\prime}=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{4 m}}=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}
\)
On putting the value of \(\mathrm{n}\) we get \(n^{\prime}=\frac{n}{2}\)
Two simple pendulums of length \(0.5 \mathrm{~m}\) and \(2.0 \mathrm{~m}\) respectively are given small linear displacement in one direction at the same time. They will again be in the same phase when the pendulum of shorter length has completed oscillations [CBSE AIPMT 1998]
(c) Let the pendulums be in phase after \(t \mathrm{sec}\) of start. Within this time, if the bigger pendulum executes \(n\) oscillations, the smaller one will have executed \((n+1)\) oscillations.
Now, the time of \(n\) oscillation \(=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{20}{g}} \times n\) \(\&\) the time of \((n+1)\) oscillation
\(
=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{5}{g}} \times(n+1)
\)
To be in phase
\(
2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{20}{g}} \times n=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{5}{g}} \times(n+1)
\)
or, \(\quad 2 n=n+1\)
or, \(n=1\)
Hence, the no. of oscillations executed by shorter pendulum \(=n+1=1+1=2\)
Two simple harmonic motions with the same frequency act on a particle at right angles i.e. along \(X\)-axis and \(Y\)-axis. If the two amplitudes are equal and the phase difference is \(\pi / 2\), the resultant motion will be [CBSE AIPMT 1997]
(a) Equation of two simple harmonic motions
\(
\begin{aligned}
& y=A \sin (\omega t+\phi) \dots(1)\\
& x=A \sin \left(\omega t+\phi+\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \\
& \Rightarrow x=A \cos (\omega t+\phi) \dots(2)
\end{aligned}
\)
On squaring and adding equations (1) and (2), \(x^2+y^2=A^2\)
This is an equation of a circle. Hence, the resulting motion will be a circular motion.
A hollow sphere is filled with water. It is hung by a long thread. As the water flows out of a hole at the bottom, the period of oscillation will [CBSE AIPMT 1997]
(a) Time period of the simple pendulum
\(T=2 \pi \sqrt{\left(\frac{l}{g}\right)} \propto \sqrt{l}\) where \(l\) is effective length.
[i.e distance between centre of suspension and centre of gravity of bob]
Initially, centre of gravity is at the centre of the sphere. When water leaks the centre of gravity goes down until it is half filled; then it begins to go up and finally, it again goes at the centre. That is effective length first increases and then decreases. As \(T \propto \sqrt{l}\), so time period first increases and then decreases.
If the length of a simple pendulum is increased by \(2 \%\), then the time period [CBSE AIPMT 1997]
(c) We know that \(T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{\mathrm{~g}}}\)

\frac{\Delta T}{T} \times 100=\frac{1}{2} \frac{\Delta l}{l} \times 100
\)
If length is increased by \(2 \%\), time period increases by \(1 \%\).
Notes:
(i) If \(g\) is constant and length varies by \(n \%\). Then \(\%\) change in time period \(\frac{\Delta T}{T} \times 100=\frac{n}{2} \%\)
(ii) If \(l\) is constant and \(g\) varies by \(n \%\). Then \(\%\) change in time period \(\frac{\Delta T}{T} \times 100=\frac{n}{2} \%\) Valid only for percentage less than \(10 \%\).
A particle starts simple harmonic motion from the mean position. Its amplitude is \(a\) and time period is \(T\). What is its displacement when its speed is half of its maximum speed? [CBSE AIPMT 1996]
The velocity of the particle executing SHM at any instant is defined as the time rate of change of its displacement at that instant.
Let the displacement of the particle at an instant \(t\) is given by
\(
\begin{gathered}
x=a \sin \omega t \\
\therefore \text { Velocity v }=\frac{d x}{d t}=\frac{d(a \sin \omega t)}{d t} \\
=a \omega \cos \omega t=a \omega \sqrt{\left(1-\sin ^2 \omega t\right)} \\
=a \omega \sqrt{\left(1-\frac{x^2}{a^2}\right)}=\omega \sqrt{\left(a^2-x^2\right)}
\end{gathered}
\)
At mean position, \(x=0\)
\(
\therefore \quad v_{\max }=\omega a
\)
According to problem, \(v=\frac{v_{\max }}{2}=\frac{a \omega}{2}\)
But \(\quad v=\omega \sqrt{a^2-x^2}\)
\(
\therefore \quad \frac{a \omega}{2}=\omega \sqrt{a^2-x^2} \text { or } x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} a
\)
In a simple harmonic motion, when the displacement is one-half the amplitude, what fraction of the total energy is kinetic? [CBSE AIPMT 1996]
(d) Total energy of particle executing S.H.M. of amplitude (a).
\(
\mathrm{E}=\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 a^2
\)
K.E. of the particle
\(
\begin{aligned}
& =\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2\left(a^2-\frac{a^2}{4}\right)\left(\text { when } x=\frac{a}{2}\right) \\
& =\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 \times \frac{3}{4} a^2=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{4} m \omega^2 a^2 \\
& \text { Clearly, } \frac{\mathrm{KE}}{\text { Total Energy }}=\frac{3}{4}
\end{aligned}
\)
A linear harmonic oscillator of force constant \(2 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}\) and amplitude \(0.01 \mathrm{~m}\) has a total mechanical energy of \(160 \mathrm{~J}\). It’s [CBSE AIPMT 1996]
Given,
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{A}=0.01 \mathrm{~m} \\
& \mathrm{k}=2 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m} \\
& \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{T}}=160 \mathrm{~J}
\end{aligned}
\)
The total mechanical energy,
\(
\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{T}}=(\mathrm{K} . \mathrm{E})_{\max }+(\mathrm{P} . \mathrm{E})_{\min }=160 \mathrm{~J} \ldots \ldots(1)
\)
we know that, maximum kinetic energy,
\(
\begin{aligned}
& (\mathrm{K} . \mathrm{E})_{\max }=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{kA}^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 10^6 \times 10^{-6} \\
& (\text { K.E })_{\max }=100 \mathrm{~J}
\end{aligned}
\)
from equation (1),
\(
(\text { P.E })_{\min }=160-100=60 \mathrm{~J}
\)
The minimum kinetic energy is zero so, the maximum potential energy is \(160 \mathrm{~J}\)
A body executes SHM with an amplitude a. At what displacement from the mean position, the potential energy of the body is one-fourth of its total energy? [CBSE AIPMT 1995, 1993]
Potential energy of the body executing SHM is given by
\(
U=\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 x^2
\)
where symbols have their usual meaning.
Total energy of the body executing SHM is
\(
E=\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 a^2
\)
According to problem,
\(
\begin{gathered}
U=\frac{1}{4} E \\
\therefore \quad \frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 x^2=\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 a^2 \\
\text { or } \quad x^2=\frac{a^2}{4} \text { or } x=\frac{a}{2}
\end{gathered}
\)
Which one of the following is a simple harmonic motion? [CBSE AIPMT 1994]
In transverse wave motion individual particles of the medium execute simple harmonic motion about their mean position in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave motion. Wave moving through a string fixed at both ends executes SHM.
A particle is subjected to two mutually perpendicular simple harmonic motions such that its \(x\) and \(y\) coordinates are given by \(x=2 \sin \omega t, y=2 \sin \left(\omega t+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\). The path of the particle will be [CBSE AIPMT 1994]
(c) As phase difference \(=\frac{\pi}{4}\), the resultant path of particle is an ellipse.
Explanation:
Hence \(\sin \omega t=\frac{x}{2}\)
\(
\therefore \quad \cos \omega \mathrm{t}=\frac{\sqrt{4-\mathrm{x}^2}}{2}
\)
\(\therefore \quad y=2 \sin \omega t \cos \frac{\pi}{4}+2 \cos \omega t \sin \frac{\pi}{4}\)
or \(\quad \mathrm{y}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} \sin \omega \mathrm{t}+\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} \cos \omega \mathrm{t}\)
\(
y=\sqrt{2} \times \frac{x}{2}+\sqrt{2} \frac{\sqrt{4-x^2}}{2}
\)
or \(y=\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{\sqrt{4-x^2}}{\sqrt{2}}\)
or \(\sqrt{2} \mathrm{y}-\mathrm{x}=\sqrt{4-\mathrm{x}^2}\)
or \(2 y^2+x^2-2 \sqrt{2} x y=4-x^2\)
or \(2 y^2+2 x^2-2 \sqrt{2} x y=4\)
or \(x^2+y^2-\sqrt{2} x y=2\)
This is an equation of an ellipse.
A wave has SHM (simple harmonic motion) whose period is \(4 \mathrm{~s}\) while another wave which also possesses SHM has its period \(3 \mathrm{~s}\). If both are combined, then the resultant wave will have the period equal to [CBSE AIPMT 1993]
Frequency \(=\frac{1}{\text { Time period }}\)
Beat frequency \(=\frac{1}{\Delta t}=f_1-f_2=\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}\)
\(\Delta t\) is the time period of the resultant wave
\(\Rightarrow\) Given:- Time period of wave \(1=T_1=3 \mathrm{~sec}\)
Time period of wave \(2=T_2=4 \mathrm{~sec}\)
We have to find the Time period of resultant ware \(\Delta t=\)?
\(
\begin{aligned}
\Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{\Delta t} & =\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}=\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4} \\
\frac{1}{\Delta t} & =\frac{1}{12} \\
\Delta t & =\text { Time period of resultant ware }=12 \mathrm{~sec}
\end{aligned}
\)
option \(C\) is correct answer.
A simple harmonic oscillator has an amplitude \(a\) and time period \(T\). The time required by it to travel from \(x=a\) to \(x=\frac{a}{2}\) is [CBSE AIPMT 1992]
(a) For S.H.M., \(x=A \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi}{T} t\right)\)
When \(x=A, A=A \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi}{T} . t\right)\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi}{T} \cdot t\right)=1 \\
& \Rightarrow \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi}{T} \cdot t\right)=\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \Rightarrow t=(T / 4)
\end{aligned}
\)
When \(x=\frac{A}{2}, \frac{A}{2}=A \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi}{T} \cdot t\right)\) or, \(\sin \frac{\pi}{6}=\sin \left(\frac{2 \pi}{T} t\right)\) or \(t=(T / 12)\)
Now, time taken to travel from \(x=A\) to \(x=A / 2\) is \((T / 4-T / 12)=T / 6\)
If a simple harmonic oscillator has got a displacement of \(0.02 \mathrm{~m}\) and acceleration equal to \(2.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\) at any time, the angular frequency of the oscillator is equal to [CBSE AIPMT 1992]
Time period of a body executing SHM is given by
\(
T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{x}{a}} \dots(i)
\)
where, \(x\) is displacement of the particle and \(a\) is acceleration of the particle.
From Eq. (i)
\(
\omega=\sqrt{\frac{a}{x}} \text { or } \omega^2=\frac{a}{x}
\)
Here, \(a=2.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
x & =0.02 \mathrm{~m} \\
\therefore \quad \omega^2 & =\frac{2.0}{0.02}
\end{aligned}
\)
or \(\quad \omega^2=100\)
or \(\quad \omega=10 \mathrm{~rad} / \mathrm{s}\)
Note:
\(\omega^2=\frac{\text { acceleration }}{\text { displacement }}=\frac{2.0}{0.02}\)
\(
\omega^2=100 \text { or } \omega=10 \mathrm{~rad} / \mathrm{s}
\)
A body is executing SHM. When the displacements from the mean position is \(4 \mathrm{~cm}\) and \(5 \mathrm{~cm}\), the corresponding velocities of the body is \(10 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}\) and \(8 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}\). Then, the time period of the body is [CBSE AIPMT 1991]
Velocity of the particle executing SHM at any instant is defined as the time rate of change of its displacement at that instant. It is given by
\(
v=\omega \sqrt{\left(a^2-x^2\right)}
\)
where, \(x\) is displacement of the particle. is acceleration and \(\omega\) is angular frequency.
Case I: \(10=\omega \sqrt{a^2-16} \dots(i)\)
Case II: \(\quad 8=\omega \sqrt{a^2-25} \dots(ii)\)
Dividing Eq. (ii) by Eq. (i), we get
\(
\frac{5}{4}=\frac{\sqrt{a^2-16}}{\sqrt{a^2-25}} \text { or } \frac{25}{16}=\frac{a^2-16}{a^2-25}
\)
or \(16 a^2-256=25 a^2-625\)
or \(\quad a^2=\frac{369}{9}\)
\(
\text { Putting value of } a^2 \text { in Eq. (i), we get }
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& 10=\omega \sqrt{\left(\frac{369}{9}-16\right)} \\
& \text { or } \omega=\frac{10 \times 3}{15}=2 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s} \\
& \therefore \text { Time period } T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}=\frac{2 \pi}{2}=\pi \sec \\

\end{aligned}

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 \(U\), then the ratio of \(T\) to \(U\) is [CBSE AIPMT 1991]
Consider a particle of mass \(m\), executing linear SHM with amplitude \(a\) and constant angular frequency \(\omega\). Supposet second af ter starting from the mean position, the displacement of the particle is \(x\), which is given by
\(
x=a \sin \omega t
\)
So, potential energy of particle is
\(
U=\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 x^2 \dots(i)
\)
and kinetic energy of particle is
\(
T=\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2\left(a^2-x^2\right) \dots(ii)
\)
From Eqs. (i)and (ii) \(\frac{T}{U}=\frac{a^2-x^2}{x^2}\)
A simple pendulum is suspended from the roof of a trolley which moves in a horizontal direction with an acceleration a, then the time period is given by \(T=2 \pi \sqrt{(l / g)}\), where \(\mathrm{g}\) is equal to [CBSE AIPMT 1991]
Apply the vector formula to determine the resultant acceleration of the both.
The bob is now under the combined action of two accelerations, \(g\) vertically downwards and \(a\) along the horizontal.
\(\therefore\) Resultant acceleration
\(
g^{\prime}=\sqrt{g^2+a^2}
\)
The composition of two simple harmonic motions of equal periods at right angle to each other and with a phase difference of \(\pi\) results in the displacement of the particle along [CBSE AIPMT 1990]
Let the SHM’s be
\(
x=a \sin \omega t \dots(i)
\)
and \(y=b \sin (\omega t+\pi)\)
or \(y=-b \sin \omega t \dots(ii)\)
From Eqs. (i)and (ii)
\(
\begin{gathered}
\frac{x}{a}=\sin \omega t \text { and }-\frac{y}{b}=\sin \omega t \\
\therefore \quad \frac{x}{a}=-\frac{y}{b} \text { or } y=-\frac{b}{a} x
\end{gathered}
\)
It is an equation of a straight line.
A mass \(m\) is suspended from the two coupled springs connected in series. The force constant for springs are \(k_1\) and \(k_2\). The time period of the suspended mass will be [CBSE AIPMT 1990]
(d) The effective spring constant of two springs in series; \(K=\frac{k_1 k_2}{k_1+k_2}\).
Time period,
\(
T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{K}}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m\left(k_1+k_2\right)}{k_1 k_2}}
\)
A particle, with restoring force proportional to the displacement and resistive force proportional to velocity is subjected to a force \(F \sin \omega_0\). If the amplitude of the particle is maximum for \(\omega=\omega_1\) and the energy of the particle is maximum for \(\omega=\omega_2\), then [CBSE AIPMT 1989]
(c) At maximum energy of the particle, velocity resonance takes place, which occurs when frequency of external periodic force is equal to natural frequency of undamped vibrations, i.e. \(\omega_2=\omega_0\).
Further, amplitude resonance takes place at a frequency of external force which is less than the frequency of undamped natural vibrations, i.e., \(\omega_1 \neq \omega_0\).
A particle moving along the \(X\)-axis, executes simple harmonic motion then the force acting on it is given by [CBSE AIPMT 1988]
where, \(A\) and \(k\) are positive constants.
If a particle executing simple harmonic motion, has a displacement \(x\) from its equilibrium position, at an instant the magnitude of the restoring force \(F\) acting on the particle at that instant is given by
\(
F=-k x
\)
where, \(k\) is known as force constant. Hence, in given options, option (a) is correct. Here, \(k=A K\)
The ratio of frequencies of fundamental harmonic produced by an open pipe to that of a closed pipe having the same length is [NEET 2023]
\(
\begin{aligned}
& f_o=f_{\text {open pipe }}=\frac{v}{2 l} \\
& f_c=f_{\text {closed pipe }}=\frac{v}{4 l} \\
