A pendulum is hung from the roof of a sufficiently high building and is moving freely to and fro like a simple harmonic oscillator. The acceleration of the bob of the pendulum is 20 m/s2 at a distance of 5 m from the mean position. The time period of oscillation is:
| 1. | 2 s | 2. | s |
| 3. | 2 s | 4. | 1 s |
A particle executes linear simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of of 3 cm. When the particle is at 2 cm from the mean position, the magnitude of its velocity is equal to that of its acceleration. Then, its time period in seconds is

| 3. | \(1:14\) | 4. | \(1:6\) |
A particle executes linear simple harmonic motion with amplitude of \(3~\text{cm}\). When the particle is at \(2~\text{cm}\) from the mean position, the magnitude of its velocity is equal to that of its acceleration. Then its time period in seconds is:
| 1. | \(\dfrac{\sqrt5}{2\pi}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{4\pi}{\sqrt5}\) |
| 3. | \(\dfrac{4\pi}{\sqrt3}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{\sqrt5}{\pi}\) |
A body of mass \(m\) is attached to the lower end of a spring whose upper end is fixed. The spring has negligible mass. When the mass \(m\) is slightly pulled down and released, it oscillates with a time period of \(3~\text{s}\). When the mass \(m\) is increased by \(1~\text{kg}\), the time period of oscillations becomes \(5~\text{s}\). The value of \(m\) in \(\text{kg}\) is:
| 1. | \(\dfrac{3}{4}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{4}{3}\) |
| 3. | \(\dfrac{16}{9}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{9}{16}\) |
