The potential energy of a particle with displacement $X$ is $U(X)$. The motion is simple harmonic, when ($K$ is a positive constant)
A$U = - \frac{{K{X^2}}}{2}$
B$U = K{X^2}$
C$U = K$
D$U = KX$

A$U = - \frac{{K{X^2}}}{2}$
a (a) $F = - \,kx$
==> $dW = Fdx = - \,kxdx$
So $\int_{\,0}^{\,W} {dW} = \int_{\,0}^{\,x} { - kx\,dx} $
==> $W = U = - \frac{1}{2}k{x^2}$

Two identical spring of constant $K$ are connected in series and parallel as shown in figure. A mass $m$ is suspended from them. The ratio of their frequencies of vertical oscillations will be
A bead of mass $m$ is attached to the mid-point of a tant, weightless string of length $l$ and placed on a frictionless horizontal table.Under a small transverse displacement $x$, as shown in above figure. If the tension in the string is $T$, then the frequency of oscillation is
The bob of a simple pendulum is displaced from its equilibrium position $O$ to a position $Q$ which is at height h above $O$ and the bob is then released. Assuming the mass of the bob to be $m$ and time period of oscillations to be $2.0\, sec$, the tension in the string when the bob passes through $O$ is
A spring block system in horizontal oscillation has a time-period $T$. Now the spring is cut into four equal parts and the block is re-connected with one of the parts. The new time period of vertical oscillation will be
A particle executes simple harmonic motion (amplitude $= A$) between $x = - A$ and $x = + A$. The time taken for it to go from $0$ to $A/2$ is ${T_1}$ and to go from $A/2$ to $A$ is ${T_2}$. Then
Two identical springs have the same force constant $73.5 \,Nm ^{-1}$. The elongation produced in each spring in three cases shown in Figure-$1$, Figure-$2$ and Figure-$3$ are $\left(g=9.8 \,ms ^{-2}\right)$
A large horizontal surface moves up and down in $S.H.M.$ with an amplitude of $1\, cm$. If a mass of $10\, kg$ (which is placed on the surface is to remain continuously in contact with it, the maximum frequency of $S.H.M.$ will be .... $Hz$
