$U =4(1-\cos 4 x )$
$F =-\frac{ dU }{ dx }=-4(+\sin 4 x ) 4=-16 \sin (4 x )$
For small $\theta$
$\sin \theta \approx \theta$

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.
Four massless springs whose force constants are $2k, 2k, k$ and $2k$ respectively are attached to a mass $M$ kept on a frictionless plane (as shown in figure). If the mass $M$ is displaced in the horizontal direction, then the frequency of oscillation of the system is
The length of a seconds pendulum at a height $h=2 R$ from earth surface will be.(Given: $R =$ Radius of earth and acceleration due to gravity at the surface of earth $g =\pi^{2}\,m / s ^{-2}$ )
Two simple harmonic motions are represented by equations ${y_1} = 4\,\sin \,\left( {10t + \phi } \right)$ and ${y_2} = 5\,\cos \,10\,t$ What is the phase difference between their velocities?
A pendulum bob has a speed of $3\, {m} / {s}$ at its lowest position. The pendulum is $50 \,{cm}$ long. The speed of bob, when the length makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ to the vertical will be $ .......\,{m} / {s}$ $\left(g=10 \,{m} / {s}^{2}\right)$
