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. | 2 s | 2. | 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

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 particle executes linear simple harmonic motion with amplitude of \(3~\text{cm}\). When the particle is at \(2~\text{cm}\) from the mean position, the magnitude of its velocity is equal to that of its acceleration. Then its time period in seconds is:
1. \(\frac{\sqrt5}{2\pi}\)
2. \(\frac{4\pi}{\sqrt5}\)
3. \(\frac{4\pi}{\sqrt3}\)
4. \(\frac{\sqrt5}{\pi}\)
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 \(3~\text{s}\). When the mass \(m\) is increased by \(1~\text{kg}\), the time period of oscillations becomes \(5~\text{s}\). The value of \(m\) in \(\text{kg}\) is:
1. \(\frac{3}{4}\)
2. \(\frac{4}{3}\)
3. \(\frac{16}{9}\)
4. \(\frac{9}{16}\)
