A point particle is acted upon by a restoring force $-k x^{3}$. The time-period of oscillation is $T$, when the amplitude is $A$. The time-period for an amplitude $2 A$ will be
Two simple harmonic motions are represented by the equations $x_{1}=5 \sin \left(2 \pi t+\frac{\pi}{4}\right), x_{2}=5 \sqrt{2}(\sin 2 \pi t+\cos 2 \pi t)$ The ratio of the amplitude of $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ is
A load of mass $m$ falls from a height $h$ on to the scale pan hung from the spring as shown in the figure. If the spring constant is $k$ and mass of the scale pan is zero and the mass $m$ does not bounce relative to the pan, then the amplitude of vibration is
A mass $M$ is suspended from a spring of negligible mass. The spring is pulled a little and then released so that the mass executes $S.H.M.$ of time period $T$. If the mass is increased by m, the time period becomes $5T/3$. Then the ratio of $m/M$ is
A simple pendulum of length $1\, m$ is oscillating with an angular frequency $10\, rad/s$. The support of the pendulum starts oscillating up and down with a small angular frequency of $1\, rad/s$ and an amplitude of $10^{-2}\, m$. The relative change in the angular frequency of the pendulum is best given by
Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are supended together by a massless spring of constant $k$. When the masses are in equilibrium, $m_1$ is removed without disturbing the system; the amplitude of vibration is
A simple pendulum is released from rest at the horizontally stretched position. When the string makes an angle $\theta$ with the vertical, the angle $\phi$ which the acceleration vector of the bob makes with the string is given by
