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 m/s2 at a distance of 5 m from the mean position. The time period of oscillation is:
1. | 2π s | 2. | π s |
3. | 2 s | 4. | 1 s |
A particle executes linear simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of of 3 cm. When the particle is at 2 cm from the mean position, the magnitude of its velocity is equal to that of its acceleration. Then, its time period in seconds is
1. √5π
2.√52π
3. 4π√5
4. 2π√3
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′. Then they are connected in parallel and the force constant is k″. Then k′:k″ is:
1. 1:9
2. 1:11
3. 1:14
4. 1:6

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 s. When the mass m is increased by 1 kg, the time period of oscillations becomes 5 s. The value of m in kg is:
1. 34
2. 43
3. 169
4. 916
