A particle executes SHM with an amplitude \(A\) and the time period \(T\). If at \(t=0,\) the particle is at its origin (mean position), then the time instant when it covers a distance equal to \(2.5A\) will be:

1.	\( \frac{T}{12} \)	2.	\(\frac{5 T}{12} \)
3.	\( \frac{7 T}{12} \)	4.	\(\frac{2 T}{3}\)

The time period of a spring mass system at the surface of the earth is \(2~\text{s}.\) What will be the time period of this system on the moon where the acceleration due to gravity is \(\frac{1}{16}^\text{th}\) of the value of \(g\) on the earth's surface?

A particle undergoes SHM with a time period of 2 seconds. In how much time will it travel from its mean position to a displacement equal to half of its amplitude?

1. $\frac{1}{2}s$

2. $\frac{1}{6}s$

3. $\frac{1}{4}s$

4. $\frac{1}{3}s$

The uniform stick of mass m length \(\text L\) is pivoted at the centre. In the equilibrium position shown in the figure, the identical light springs have their natural length. If the stick is turned through a small angle $\theta$, it executes SHM. The frequency of the motion is:

1. \(\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{6 K}{m}} \)

2. \(\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{3 K}{2 m}} \)

3. \(\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{3 K}{m}} \)

4. None of these
