उत्तर
The phase of a vibrating particle corresponding to time t = 0 is called the initial phase or epoch. At, t = φ, φ = φ0.
The constant φ0 is called the initial phase or epoch. It tells about the initial state of motion of the vibrating particle.

A particle executes simple harmonic motion Let P be a point near the mean position and Q be a point near an extreme. The speed of the particle at P is larger than the speed at Q. Still the particle crosses Pand Q equal number of times in a given time interval. Does it make you unhappy?
It is proposed to move a particle in simple harmonic motion on a rough horizontal surface by applying an external force along the line of motion. Sketch the graph of the applied force against the position of the particle. Note that the applied force has two values for a given position depending on whether the particle is moving in positive or negative direction.
The time period of a particle in simple harmonic motion is equal to the smallest time between the particle acquiring a particular velocity \[\vec{v}\] . The value of v is
