The following are the quantities associated with a body performing SHM.

A heavy brass sphere is hung from a spring and it executes vertical vibrations with period T. The sphere is now immersed in a non-viscous liquid with a density (1/10)^th that of brass. When set into vertical vibrations with the sphere remaining inside liquid all the time, the time period will be

Two particles P and Q describe SHM of same amplitude a and frequency v along the same straight line. The maximum distance between two particles is √2 a. The phase difference between the particles is

Justify the following statement
(i) The motion of an artificial satellite around the earth cannot be taken as SHM.
(ii) The time period of a simple pendulum will get doubled if its length is increased four times.

A circular disc of mass 10 kg is suspended by a wire attached to its centre. The wire is twisted by rotating the disc and released. The period of torsional oscillation is found to be 1.5 s. The radius of the disc is 15 cm.Determine the torsional spring constant of the wire.
This is a question based on torsion pendulum for which \(T=2\pi \sqrt { \frac { \quad }{ \alpha } } \) where I = moment of inertia of the disc about axis of rotation,\(\alpha \) = torsion constant which is restoring couple per unit twist.

Why does the time period of a swing not change when two persons sit on it instead of one?

Can a motion be periodic but not oscillatory? If your answer is yes, give an example and if not explain why?

A spring of force constant k has a mass M suspended from it. If the spring is cut into two halves, and the same mass is attached to one of the pieces, what will be the frequencies of oscillation of the mass?

A particle is executing SHM according to the equation x = 5 sin \(\pi\)t where x is in cm. How long will the particle take to move from the position of equilibrium to the position of maximum displacement?

Two pendulums of lengths 100 cm and 110.25 cm start oscillating in phase simultaneously. After how many oscillations will they again be in phase together?

The vertical motion of a huge piston in machine is simple harmonic with a frequency of 0.50 s^-1. A block of 10 kg is placed on the piston. What is the maximum amplitude of the piston's SHM for the block and the piston to remain together?
