A sound absorber attenuates the sound level by $$20$$ $$dB$$. The intensity decreases by a factor of

The displacement of an object attached to a spring and executing simple harmonic motion is given by $$x = 2 \times {10^{ - 2}}$$ $$cos$$ $$\pi t$$ metre. The time at which the maximum speed first occurs is

A point mass oscillates along the $$x$$-axis according to the law $$x = {x_0}\,\cos \left( {\omega t - \pi /4} \right).$$ If the acceleration of the particle is written as $$a = A\,\cos \left( {\omega t + \delta } \right),$$ then

Two springs, of force constant $${k_1}$$ and $${k_2}$$ are connected to a mass $$m$$ as shown. The frequency of oscillation of the mass is $$f.$$ If both $${k_1}$$ and $${k_2}$$ are made four times their original values, the frequency of oscillation becomes
