A particle performs simple harmonic motion with a time period of 16 s . At a time $t=2 \mathrm{~s}$, the particle passes through the origin and at $t=4 \mathrm{~s}$ its velocity is $4 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. The amplitude of the motion is

The amplitude of a damped oscillator varies with time as $A(t)=A_0 \exp (-b t / 2 \mathrm{~m})$, where $b=70 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{s}$ and $m=200$ g. How long does it take for the mechanical energy to drop to one-fourth of its initial value?

A simple pendulum of length 1 m and having a bob of mass 100 g is suspended in a car, moving on a circular track of radius 100 m with uniform speed $10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. If the pendulum makes small oscillation in a radial direction

about its equilibrium position, then its time period can be given by $T=2 \pi / \alpha^{1 / 4}$. The value of $\alpha$ is

[Take, $g=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$ ]

A simple pendulum consists of a small sphere of mass $m$ suspended by a thread of length $l$. The sphere carries a positive charge $q$. The pendulum is allowed to do small oscillations in uniform electric field $E$ with direction vertically upwards. The time period of oscillation is
