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 .... $^o$

A$120$
a Resultant amplitude $=\sqrt{a_{1}^{2}+a_{2}^{2}+2 a_{1} a_{2} \cos \Delta \phi}$
$\Rightarrow \phi_{1}-\phi_{2}=120^{\circ}$ or $\frac{2 \pi}{3} \mathrm{rad}$

The instantaneous displacement of a simple pendulum oscillator is given by $x = A\,\cos \,\left( {\omega t + \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)$ . Its speed will be maximum at time
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.
A rectangular block of mass $m$ and area of cross-section $A$ floats in a liquid of density $\rho $. If it is given a small vertical displacement from equilibrium it undergoes with a time period $T,$ then
A body oscillates with a simple harmonic motion having amplitude $0.05\, m .$ At a certain instant, its displacement is $0.01\, m$ and acceleration is $1.0 \,m / s ^{2} .$ The period of oscillation is
A horizontal platform with an object placed on it is executing $S.H.M$. in the vertical direction. The amplitude of oscillation is $3.92 \times {10^{ - 3}}m$. What must be the least period of these oscillations, so that the object is not detached from the platform
A flat horizontal board moves up and down in $SHM$ of amplitude $\alpha$. Then the shortest permissible time period of the vibration such that an object placed on the board may not lose contact with the board is
