(c) Kinetic energy $K = \frac{1}{2}m{v^2} = \frac{1}{2}m{a^2}{\omega ^2}{\cos ^2}\omega \,t$

$ = \frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}{a^2}(1 + \cos 2\omega \,t)$

hence kinetic energy varies periodically with double the frequency of $S.H.M$. i.e. $2\omega $.

    In the figure shown, there is friction between the blocks $P$ and $Q$ but the contact between the block $Q$ and lower surface is frictionless. Initially the block $Q$ with block $P$ over it lies at $x=0$, with spring at its natural length. The block $Q$ is pulled to right and then released. As the spring - blocks system undergoes $S.H.M.$ with amplitude $A$, the block $P$ tends to slip over $Q . P$ is more likely to slip at
