A particle starts with $S.H.M.$ from the mean position as shown in the figure. Its amplitude is $A$ and its time period is $T$. At one time, its speed is half that of the maximum speed. What is this displacement?

(c) ${v_{\max }} = \omega A$ 

$v = \frac{{\omega A}}{2} = \omega \sqrt {{A^2} - {y^2}} $

${A^2} - {y^2} = \frac{{{A^2}}}{4}$

${y^2} = \frac{{3{A^2}}}{4}$

$y = \frac{{\sqrt 3 A}}{2}$

    A simple pendulum of length $L$ is constructed from a point object of mass $m$ suspended by a massless string attached to a fixed pivot point. $A$ small peg is placed a distance $2L/3$ directly below the fixed pivot point so that the pendulum would swing as shown in the figure below. The mass is displaced $5$ degrees from the vertical and released. How long does it take to return to its starting position?

    Two particles of mass $m$ are constrained to move along two horizontal frictionless rails that make an angle $2\theta $ with respect to each other. They are connected by a spring with spring constant $k$ . The angular frequency of small oscillations for the motion where the two masses always stay parallel to each other (that is the distance between the meeting point of the rails and each particle is equal) is
