$a=-\omega^{2}\left(x-x_{o}\right)$
so graph of $a$ vs $x$ is a straight line having slope $-\omega^{2}$

For a simple pendulum, a graph is plotted between its kinetic energy $(KE)$ and potential energy $(PE)$ against its displacement $d.$ Which one of the following represents these correctly ? (graphs are schematic and not drawn to scale)
A spring of force constant $k$ is cut into two pieces such that one piece is double the length of the other. Then the long piece will have a force constant of
A $3\ kg$ sphere dropped through air has a terminal speed of $25\ m/s$. (Assume that the drag force is $-bv$.) Now suppose the sphere is attached to a spring of force constant $k = 300\ N/m$, and that it oscillates with an initial amplitude of $20\ cm$. What is the angular frequencu of its damped $SHM$? ..... $rad/s$
The motion of a particle executing $S.H.M.$ is given by $x = 0.01\sin 100\pi (t + .05)$, where $x$ is in metres and time is in seconds. The time period is ..... $\sec$
pendulum made of a uniform wire of cross sectional area $A$ has time period $T$. When an additional mass $M$ is added to its bob, the time period changes to $T_M$. If the Young's modulus of the material of the wire is $Y$ then $\frac{1}{Y}$ is equal to : ($g$ = gravitational acceleration)
Consider two identical springs each of spring constant $k$ and negligible mass compared to the mass $M$ as shown. Fig. $1$ shows one of them and Fig. $2$ shows their series combination. The ratios of time period of oscillation of the two $SHM$ is $\frac{ T _{ b }}{ T _{ a }}=\sqrt{ x },$ where value of $x$ is
Time period of a simple pendulum is $T$ inside a lift when the lift is stationary. If the lift moves upwards with an acceleration $g / 2,$ the time period of pendulum will be
