Abody performs simple harmonic oscillations along the straight line $ABCDE$ with $C$ as the midpoint of $AE.$ Its kinetic energies at $B$ and $D$ are each one fourth of its maximum value. If $AE = 2R,$ the distance between $B$ and $D$ is
A$\frac{\sqrt{3} R}{2}$
B$\frac{R}{\sqrt{2}}$
C$\sqrt{3} R$
D$\sqrt{2} R$

C$\sqrt{3} R$
c $\frac{1}{2} k\left(A^{2}-x^{2}\right)=\frac{1}{4}\left(\frac{1}{2} k A^{2}\right)$
$\therefore x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} A$
$\therefore C D=C B=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} R$
or $B D=2(C D)$
or $2(C B)=\sqrt{3} R$

A particle of mass $0.50 \mathrm{~kg}$ executes simple harmonic motion under force $\mathrm{F}=-50\left(\mathrm{Nm}^{-1}\right) \mathrm{x}$. The time period of oscillation is $\frac{x}{35} s$. The value of $x$ is . . . . .(Given $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$ )
A simple pendulum is made of a body which is a hollow sphere containing mercury suspended by means of a wire. If a little mercury is drained off, the period of pendulum will
A particle excutes $SHM$ on a straight line path. The amplitude of oscillation is $2\,cm$. When the displacement of the particle from the mean position is $1\,cm$, the numerical value of magnitude of acceleration is equal to the numerical value of magnitude of velocity. The frequency of $SHM$ is (in $second^{-1}$)
A pendulum bob is swinging in a vertical plane such that its angular amplitude is less than $90^o$. At its highest point, the string is cut. Which trajectory is possible for the bob afterwards.
One end of a long metallic wire of length $L$ is tied to the ceiling. The other end is tied to massless spring of spring constant $K$. A mass $ m$ hangs freely from the free end of the spring. The area of cross-section and Young's modulus of the wire are $A$ and $Y$ respectively. If the mass is slightly pulled down and released, it will oscillate with a time period $T$ equal to
A sphere of radius $r$ is kept on a concave mirror of radius of curvature $R$. The arrangement is kept on a horizontal table (the surface of concave mirror is frictionless and sliding not rolling). If the sphere is displaced from its equilibrium position and left, then it executes $S.H.M.$ The period of oscillation will be
