(a)

The displacement of the particle is given by:

$x  =A \sin (-2 \omega t)+B \sin ^2 \omega t$

$=-A \sin 2 \omega t+\frac{B}{2}(1-\cos 2 \omega t)$

$=-\left(A \sin 2 \omega t+\frac{B}{2} \cos 2 \omega t\right)+\frac{B}{2}$

This motion represents SHM with an amplitude: $\sqrt{A^2+\frac{B^2}{4}}$, and mean position $\frac{B}{2}$

    In the figure shown, there is friction between the blocks $P$ and $Q$ but the contact between the block $Q$ and lower surface is frictionless. Initially the block $Q$ with block $P$ over it lies at $x=0$, with spring at its natural length. The block $Q$ is pulled to right and then released. As the spring - blocks system undergoes $S.H.M.$ with amplitude $A$, the block $P$ tends to slip over $Q . P$ is more likely to slip at
