(a) For figure (a) : When a force F is applied to the free end of the spring, an extension l is produced. For the maximum extension, it can be written as:
F – kl, where k is the spring constant.
For maximum =extension of the spring, l =
For figure (b): The displacement (x) produced in this case is x =
Net force F = +2kx = 2k . So l =
(b) For figure (a) : For mass (m) of the block, force is written as : F = ma = m ,
where x is the displacement of the block in time t, then
m , it is negative because the direction of the elastic force is opposite to the direction of displacement.

(a) X = -2 sin( 3t + ) = +2cos ( 3t + + = 2 cos (3t + )
when we compare this equation with standard SHM equation
x = Acos ( t + ), then we get
Amplitude A = 2 cm. Phase angle = 150 , angular velocity = 3 rad/s

(b) X= cos ( t) = cos ( )
when we compare this equation with standard SHM equation
x = Acos( t + ), then we get
Amplitude A = 1 cm. Phase angle = - 30 , angular velocity = 1 rad/s

(c) X = 3sin (2 t + ) = -3cos
when we compare this equation w

(a) Time period, T = 2 s, Amplitude A = 3 cm
At time, t = 0, the radius vector makes an angle with the positive x-axis, i.e. phase angle = +
Therefore, the equation of simple harmonic motion for the x-projection of the radius vector, at time t is given by the displacement equation:
x = Acos = 3cos = -3sin ( ) = -3sin cm
(b) Time period, T = 4 s, Amplitude A = 2 m
At time, t = 0, the radius vector makes an angle with the positive x-axis, i.e. phase angle = +
Therefore, the equation of simple harmonic motion for the x-projection of the r

The functions have the same frequency and amplitude, but different initial phases.
Distance travelled by the mass sideways, A = 2.0 cm
Force constant of the spring, k = 1200 N/m and mass, m = 3 kg
Angular frequency, = = 20 rad/s
(a) When mass is at the mean position, displacement x = Asin cm
(b) At the maximum stretched position, the mass is towards extreme right. Hence the initial phase is
x = A sin ( = 2sin (20t + = 2cos20t
(c) At the maximum compressed position, the mass is towards the extreme left
Hence, the initial phase is
x = Asin ( = 2 cos20t
Hence, the f

Spring constant, k = 1200 N/m
Mass, m = 3 kg
Displacement, d = 2 cm = 0.02 m
(a) Frequency of oscillation, v is given by
v = = = = 3.183 m/s
(b) Maximum acceleration (a) is given by the relation: a =
where, angular frequency = and A = maximum displacement
a = = = 8 m/
(c) Maximum velocity, = = 0.4 m/s
Hence the maximum velocity of the mass is 0.4 m/s

The maximum mass that the scale can read, M = 50 kg
Maximum displacement of the spring = Length of the scale, l = 20 cm = 0.2 m
Time period, T = 0.6 s
Maximum force exerted on the spring, F =Mg
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/
Hence, F = 50 = 490 N
Spring constant k = = = 2450 N/
Mass m is suspended from the balance, hence time period, T =
m = ( = ( = 22.34 kg
Weight = mg = 218.944 N
So the weight of the body is about 219 kg.

Initially at t =0, Displacement, x = 1 cm
Initial velocity, v = cm/s, Angular frequency, = rad/s
It is given that: x(t) = A cos ( t + )
Then 1 = A cos (
A cos = 1 ….(i)
Velocity, v =
1 = -Asin(
Asin ………(ii)
Squaring and adding equations (i) and (ii), we get

Then = , ,,,
SHM is given as X = Bsin( t + )
Putting the given values in this equation, we get
1 = Bsin( )
Bsin =1…….(iii)
Velocity V = Bcos( t + &nbs

A motion represents simple harmonic motion if it is governed by the force of law
F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration and F = kx, where k is a constant among given equation and x is the displacement.
We can write a = x
Only equation a = -10x is written in this form. Hence this relation represents SHM. The answer is option (c).

a)

The given situation is shown in the figure. Points A and B are the two end points, with AB = 10 cm. O is the midpoint of the path. A particle is in linear simple harmonic motion between the end points. At the extreme point A, the particle is at rest momentarily. Hence, its velocity is zero at this point. Its acceleration is positive as it is directed along AO. Force is also positive in this case as the particle is directed rightward.
(b) At the extreme point B, the particle is at rest momentarily. Hence, its velocity is zero at this point. Its acceleration is negative in this case as it is directed along B. Force is also

This function represents SHM as it can be written in the form: a sin ( t + )
Its period is . It is periodic, but not SHM
(b) Sin3 t =
The terms t and t individually represents simple harmonic motion. However, the superposition of two SHM is periodic but not simple harmonic.
(c) The given function is 3 cos ( /4 – 2 t) = -3cos(2 t - /4)
This function represents simple harmonic motion because it can be written in the form: a cos(
