(c) Total energy in $SHM $ $E = \frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}{a^2}$; (where $a =$ amplitude)
Potential energy $U = \frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}({a^2} - {y^2}) $
$= E - \frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}{y^2}$
When $y = \frac{a}{2}$
$⇒$ $U = E - \frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}\left( {\frac{{{a^2}}}{4}} \right)$
$= E - \frac{E}{4} = \frac{{3E}}{4}$

A block of mass $1 \,kg$ attached to a spring is made to oscillate with an initial amplitude of $12\, cm$. After $2\, minutes$ the amplitude decreases to $6\, cm$. Determine the value of the damping constant for this motion. (take In $2=0.693$ )
A $5\, kg$ collar is attached to a spring of spring constant $500\, Nm^{-1}$. It slides without friction over a horizontal rod. The collar is displaced from its equillibrium position by $10\, cm$ and released. The time period of oscillation is
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.
A spring of force constant $k$ is cut into two pieces such that one piece is double the length of the other. Then the long piece will have a force constant of
The acceleration of a particle performing S.H.M. is at a distance of $3\; cm$ from the mean position is $ 12\,cm/sec^2 $. Its time period is ..... $\sec$
The displacement of simple harmonic oscillator after $3$ seconds starting from its mean position is equal to half of its amplitude. The time period of harmonic motion is $\dots \; s$
A pendulum suspended from the ceiling of a train has a period $T$, when the train is at rest. When the train is accelerating with a uniform acceleration a, the period of oscillation will
