A particle performing linear S.H.M. of period 2π seconds about the mean position O is observed to have a speed of `"b" sqrt3` m/s, when at a distance b (metre) from O. If the particle is moving away from O at that instant, find the time required by the particle, to travel a further distance b.
The displacement of an oscillating particle is given by x = a sin ω t + b cos ω t where a, b and ω are constants. Prove that the particle performs a linear S.H.M. with amplitude A = `sqrt("a"^2 + "b"^2)`.
A wooden block of mass m is kept on a piston that can perform vertical vibrations of adjustable frequency and amplitude. During vibrations, we don’t want the block to leave the contact with the piston. How much maximum frequency is possible if the amplitude of vibrations is restricted to 25 cm? In this case, how much is the energy per unit mass of the block? (g ≈ π2 ≈ 10 m/s-2)
