A 1 kg block attached to a spring vibrates with a frequency of 1 Hz on a frictionless horizontal table. Two springs identical to the original spring are attached in parallel to an 8 kg block placed on the same table. So, the frequency of vibration of the 8 kg block is :

The ratio of maximum acceleration to maximum velocity in a simple harmonic motion is 10 s⁻¹ . At, t = 0 the displacement is 5 m. What is the maximum acceleration ? The initial phase is $${\pi \over 4}$$.

A particle is executing simple harmonic motion with a time period T. At time t = 0, it is at its position of equilibrium. The kinetic energy – time graph of the particle will look like:

In an engine the piston undergoes vertical simple harmonic motion with amplitude 7 cm. A washer rests on top of the piston and moves with it. The motor speed is slowly increased. The frequency of the piston at which the washer no longer stays in contact with the piston, is close to :
