B$10$
b (b) $\frac{{{\rm{Potential\, energy (}}U{\rm{)}}}}{{{\rm{Total \,energy (}}E{\rm{)}}}} = \frac{{\frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}{y^2}}}{{\frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}{a^2}}} = \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{a^2}}}$
So $\frac{{2.5}}{E} = \frac{{{{\left( {\frac{a}{2}} \right)}^2}}}{{{a^2}}}$
==> $E = 10J$

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 with a metallic bob has a time period $T$. The bob is now immersed in a non-viscous liquid and oscillated. If the density of the liquid is $1 / 4$ that of metal, the time period of the same pendulum will be ...........
A vibratory motion is represented by $x = 2A\,\cos \omega t + A\,\cos \,\left( {\omega t + \frac{\pi }{2}} \right) + A\,\cos \,\left( {\omega t + \pi } \right)$ $ + \frac{A}{2}\,\cos \left( {\omega t + \frac{{3\pi }}{2}} \right)$. The resultant amplitude of the motion is
A spring has a certain mass suspended from it and its period for vertical oscillation is $T$. The spring is now cut into two equal halves and the same mass is suspended from one of the halves. The period of vertical oscillation is now
The potential energy of a particle of mass $100 \,g$ moving along $x$-axis is given by $U=5 x(x-4)$, where $x$ is in metre. The period of oscillation is .................
A circular disc of mass $10 \;kg$ is suspended by a wire attached to its centre. The wire is twisted by rotating the disc and released. The period of torsional oscillations is found to be $1.5 \;s$. The radius of the disc is $15\; cm .$ Determine the torsional spring constant of the wire in $N\;m\;rad^{-1}$. (Torsional spring constant $\alpha$ is defined by the relation $J=-\alpha \theta,$ where $J$ is the restoring couple and $\theta$ the angle of twist).
A mass $m$ attached to free end of a spring executes SHM with a period of $1\; s$. If the mass is increased by $3\; kg$ the period of oscillation increases by one second, the value of mass $m$ is $..............kg$.
The time period of oscillations of a simple pendulum is $1$ minute. If its length is increased by $44 \%$. then its new time period of oscillation will be ......... $s$
