(a)Velocity of a particle executing $S.H.M.$ is given by 

$v = \omega \sqrt {{a^2} - {x^2}} $

$= \frac{{2\pi }}{T}\sqrt {{A^2} - \frac{{{A^2}}}{4}} $

$= \frac{{2\pi }}{T}\sqrt {\frac{{3{A^2}}}{4}}$

$= \frac{{\pi A\sqrt 3 }}{T}$.

    On a frictionless horizontal plane, a bob of mass $m=0.1 kg$ is attached to a spring with natural length $l_0=0.1 m$. The spring constant is $k_1=0.009 Nm ^{-1}$ when the length of the spring $I > l_0$ and is $k_2=0.016 Nm ^{-1}$ when $ I < l_0$. Initially the bob is released from $l=0.15 m$. Assume that Hooke's law remains valid throughout the motion. If the time period of the full oscillation is $T=(n \pi) s$, then the integer closest to $n$ is. . . . .
