A particle with restoring force proportional to displacement and resisting force proportional to velocity is subjected to a force $\mathrm{Fsin\omega t}$ . If the amplitude of the particle is maximum for $\mathrm{\omega }={\mathrm{\omega }}_1$  and the energy of the particle is maximum for $\mathrm{\omega }={\mathrm{\omega }}_2$, then (where ${\omega }_0$ is natural frequency of oscillation of particle)

 Amplitude of a wave is represented by

$A=\frac{c}{a+b-c}$

Then resonance will occur when

4.     None of these

The displacement of a particle varies with time as $x=12\sin wt-16 {\sin }^3 wt$ (in cm). If its motion is S.H.M., then its maximum acceleration is -

4. $\sqrt{192}{\omega }^2$

A particle of mass m is executing oscillations about the origin on the x-axis. Its potential energy is $U\left(x\right)=k{\left[x\right]}^3$ , where k is a positive constant. If the amplitude of oscillation is a, then its time period T is -

2.  Independent of a

3.  Proportional to $\sqrt{a}$   

4.  Proportional to  $a^{3/2}$

A cylindrical piston of mass M slides smoothly inside a long cylinder closed at one end, enclosing a certain mass of gas. The cylinder is kept with its axis horizontal. If the piston is disturbed from its equilibrium position, it oscillates simple harmonically. The period of oscillation will be
