A particle performs $SHM$ about $x = 0$ such that at $t = 0$ it is at $x = 0$ and moving towards positive extreme. The time taken by it to go from $x = 0$ to $x = \frac{A}{2}$ is ..... times the time taken to go from $x = \frac{A}{2}$ to $A$. The most suitable option for the blank space is

Time for $x=0$ to $x=\frac{A}{2}$ is

$\frac{\mathrm{A}}{2}=\mathrm{A} \sin \omega \mathrm{t}_{1} \quad \Rightarrow \omega \mathrm{t}_{1}=\frac{\pi}{6} \Rightarrow \mathrm{t}_{1}=\frac{\pi}{6 \omega}$

$\Rightarrow t_{1}=\frac{T}{12}$

and from $x=\frac{A}{2}$ to $x=A$ is

$\mathrm{t}_{2}=\frac{\mathrm{T}}{4}-\frac{\mathrm{T}}{12}=\frac{\mathrm{T}}{6} \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{t}_{1}}{\mathrm{t}_{2}}=\frac{1}{2}$

    A block with mass $M$ is connected by a massless spring with stiffiess constant $k$ to a rigid wall and moves without friction on a horizontal surface. The block oscillates with small amplitude $A$ about an equilibrium position $x_0$. Consider two cases: ($i$) when the block is at $x_0$; and ($ii$) when the block is at $x=x_0+A$. In both the cases, a perticle with mass $m$ is placed on the mass $M$ ?

    ($A$) The amplitude of oscillation in the first case changes by a factor of $\sqrt{\frac{M}{m+M}}$, whereas in the second case it remains unchanged
