d (d) Harmonic oscillator has some initial elastic potential energy and amplitude of harmonic variation of energy is $\frac{1}{2}K{a^2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times {10^6}{(0.01)^2} = 100\,J$
This is the maximum kinetic energy of the oscillator. Thus ${K_{\max }} = 100J$
This energy is added to initial elastic potential energy may give maximum mechanical energy to have value $160J$.

The time period of a particle executing $S.H.M.$ is $8 \,s$. At $t=0$ it is at the mean position. The ratio of distance covered by the particle in $1^{\text {st }}$ second to the $2^{\text {nd }}$ second is .............. $s$
A particle executes $S.H.M.$ of amplitude A along $x$-axis. At $t =0$, the position of the particle is $x=\frac{A}{2}$ and it moves along positive $x$-axis the displacement of particle in time $t$ is $x=A \sin (\omega t+\delta)$, then the value $\delta$ will be
The particle executing simple harmonic motion has a kinetic energy $K_0cos^2 \omega t$. The maximum values of the potential energy and the total energy are respectively
Two light identical springs of spring constant $k$ are attached horizontally at the two ends of a uniform horizontal rod $AB$ of length $l$ and mass $m$. the rod is pivoted at its centre $‘O’$ and can rotate freely in horizontal plane. The other ends of the two springs are fixed to rigid supports as shown in figure. The rod is gently pushed through a small angle and released. The frequency of resulting oscillation is
Four harmonic waves of equal frequencies and equal intensities $I_0$ have phase angles $0, \pi / 3,2 \pi / 3$ and $\pi$. When they are superposed, the intensity of the resulting wave is $nI _0$. The value of $n$ is
