C$\;\frac{{\pi A\sqrt 3 }}{T}$
c For simple harmonic motion,
$v=\omega \sqrt{a^{2}-x^{2}}$
When $x=\frac{a}{2}, v=\omega \sqrt{a^{2}-\frac{a^{2}}{4}}=\omega \sqrt{\frac{3}{4} a^{2}}$
As $\omega=\frac{2 \pi}{T}, \quad \therefore \quad v=\frac{2 \pi}{T} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} a \Rightarrow \quad v=\frac{\pi \sqrt{3} a}{T}$

A clock which keeps correct time at ${20^o}C$, is subjected to ${40^o}C$. If coefficient of linear expansion of the pendulum is $12 \times {10^{ - 6}}/^\circ C$. How much will it gain or loose in time
A particle of mass m is attached to a spring (of spring constant k) and has a natural angular frequency ${\omega _0}$ - An external force $F (t)$ proportional to $\cos \omega \,t((\omega \ne {\omega _0})$ is applied to the oscillator. The time displacement of the oscillator will be proportional to
On the superposition of two harmonic oscillations represented by ${x_1} = a\,\sin \,\left( {\omega t + {\phi _1}} \right)$ and ${x_2} = a\,\sin \,\left( {\omega t + {\phi _2}} \right)$ a resulting oscillation with the same time period and amplitude is obtained. The value of ${\phi _1} - {\phi _2}$ is .... $^o$
