5
A simple pendulum, consisting of a small ball of mass m attached to a massless string hanging vertically from the ceiling is oscillating with an amplitude such that Tmax = 2Tmin, where Tmax and Tmin are the maximum and minimum tension in the string, respectively. The value of maximum tension Tmax in the string is

7
In case of a simple harmonic motion, if the velocity is plotted along the X-axis and the displacement (from the equilibrium position) is plotted along the Y-axis, the resultant curve happens to be an ellipse with the ratio $${{major\,axis\,(along\,X)} \over {minor\,axis\,(along\,Y)}} = 20\pi $$

8
The velocity of a particle executing a simple harmonic motion is 13 ms$$-$$1, when its distance from the equilibrium position (Q) is 3 m and its velocity is 12 ms$$-$$1, when it is 5 m away from Q. The frequency of the simple harmonic motion is
