This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar
As we know equation of SHM is x= Asinwt
V= dx/dt=Awsinwt
Vmax=Awcoswtmax
= Aw
A=dv/dt=-wAwsinwt
= -w2Asinwt
Amax=-w2A
From above equations
=wA/w2A=1/w

The bob is displaced through some angle

The restoring force if is small then it is only.
So torque is directly proportional to angle.
So it clear from the above equation that its period will be harmonic

Acceleration is directly proportional to displacement.
The direction of acceleration is always towards the mean position that is opposite to displacement.

This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Consider the diagram in which the block is displaced right through x

The right spring gets compressed by x developing a restoring force kx towards left on the block. The left spring is stretched by an amount x developing a restoring force kx towards left on the block

Hence total force =kx+kx= 2kx towards left.

(i) In SHM y-t graph, zero displacement values correspond to mean position where velocity of the oscillator is maximum.
Where the crest and troughs represents extreme positions where displacement is maximum and velocity of the oscillator is minimum and is zero. Hence A (ii) And also speed is maximum at mean position represented by B

(a, c, d) a) when the particle is 3 cm away from A going towards B, velocity is towards AB.i.e positive. SHM towards mean position so positive.
b) When the particle is at C velocity is towards B hence positive.
c) When the particle is 4 cm away from B is going towards A velocity is negative and acceleration towards mean position. Hence negative.
d) Acceleration is always towards mean position O. when the particle is at B acceleration and force are towards BA that is negative.

This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(a, b, d) a) total mechanical energy of the body at any time t is
E= w2a2
KE=1/2mv2=
Kmax= ½ mw2a2=E
b) K= ½ mw2a2cos2wt
for a cycle value of coswt is =1/2
= 1/4 mw2a2= kmax/2
c) v=dx/dt = a coswt
Vmaen =Vmax+Vmin/2
= aw-aw/2=0
d)Vrms=
Vrms=Vmax/

This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(a, b, c) At t= 3T/4, the displacement of the particle is zero. Hence particle executing SHM will be at mean position i.e x=0 acceleration is zero and force is also zero.

At t= 4T/3, displacement is maximum i.e extreme position, so acceleration is maximum
At t = T/4 corresponds to mean position, so velocity will be maximum at this position.
At t= T/2 corresponds to extreme position so KE =0 and PE =maximum.

This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(a, b, d) x=asinwt
V=dx/dt=awcoswt
A=dv/dt=-aw2sinwt
Force = mass = -mw2x
So force is directly proportional to displacement.

(b), (d) It is clear the curve that points corresponding to t=2s and t=6s are separated by a distance belongs to one time period. hence these points must be in same phase

Similarly points belongs t-1s to t=5sare at separation of one time period. Hence must be in phase.
