Time period of simple pendulum T=2s
For simple pendulum T= where l is length and g = acceleration due to gravity.
Te=2
On the surface of the moon Tm= 2
=
Te=Tm to maintain the second's pendulum time period
1= …………….1
But the acceleration due to gravity at moon is 1/6 of the acceleration due to gravity at earth,
gm=
squaring equation 1 and putting this value
1=
lm=1/6le = 1/6 m

Potential energy of a simple harmonic oscillator is = ½ kx2=1/2mw2x2
K=mw2
When x=0 PE=0
When x= , PE=maximum
=1/2 mw2A2
KE of a simple harmonic oscillator =1/2 mv2
= 1/2 m [w ] 2
= ½ mw2 (A2-x2)
This is also parabola if plot KE against displacement x
KE= 0 at x=
KE=1/2mw2A2 at x=0
Now total energy of the simple harmonic oscillator =PE+KE
= ½ mw2x2+1/2mw2 (A2-x2)
TE= ½ mw2A2
So the curve according to that is

As we know x= acoswt
V =dx/dt= a (-sinwt)w=-wasinwt
V=-wasinwt
= wacos ( )
Phase of velocity =
So difference in phse of velocity to that of phase of displacement = =

This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar
As the particle on reference circle moves in anticlockwise direction. The projection will move from P to O towards left.

Hence in the position shown the velocity is directed from P' to P'' i.e from right to left . hence sign is negative.

In the diagram

the motion of a particle executing SHM between A and B
Total distance travelled while it goes from A to B and returns to A is=AO+OB+BO+OA
= A+A+A+A=4A
So ratio of distance and amplitude =4A/A=4
