(c) $y = A\sin PT + B\cos PT$
Let $A = r\cos \theta ,$ $B = r\sin \theta $
$ \Rightarrow y = r\sin (PT + \theta )$ which is the equation of $SHM.$

    Assume that the earth is a solid sphere of uniform density and a tunnel is dug along its diameter throughout the earth. It is found that when a particle is released in this tunnel, it executes a simple harmonic motion. The mass of the particle is $100 g$. The time period of the motion of the particle will be (approximately) (take $g =10\,ms ^{-2}$, radius of earth $=6400\,km$ )

    A mass $m = 1.0\,kg$ is put on a flat pan attached to a vertical spring fixed on the ground. The mass of the spring and the pan is negligible. When pressed slightly and released, the mass executes simple harmonic motion. The spring constant is $500\,N/m.$ What is the amplitude $A$ of the motion, so that the mass $m$ tends to get detached from the pan ? (Take $g = 10\,m/s^2$ ). The spring is stiff enough so that it does not get distorted during the motion.
