The damping force of an oscillator is directly proportional to the velocity. The units of the constant of proportionality are:
1. kg-msec^-1
2. kg-msec^-2
3. kg-sec^-1
4. kg-sec

The displacement of a particle along the x-axis is given by, x = asin²$\mathrm{\omega }$t. The motion of the particle corresponds to:

A point performs simple harmonic oscillation of period \(\mathrm{T}\) and the equation of motion is given by; \(x=a \sin (\omega t+\pi / 6)\). After the elapse of what fraction of the time period, the velocity of the point will be equal to half of its maximum velocity?
