$x(t)=a \sin \omega t$ $(from \,the\, equilibrium\, position)$
At $x(t)=a / 2$
$\therefore \quad \frac{a}{2}=a \sin (\omega t)$
$\Rightarrow \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)=\sin (\omega t) \quad$ or, $\quad \frac{\pi}{6}=\frac{2 \pi t}{T}\left[\because \omega=\frac{2 \pi}{T}\right]$
or $t=T / 12$

- 3In 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 atView Solution
