A particle is in linear simple harmonic motion between two points, \(A\) and \(B\), \(10~\text{cm}\) apart. (Take the direction from \(A\) to \(B\) as the positive direction.) The signs of velocity, acceleration, and force on the particle when it is at \(3~\text{cm}\) away from \(A\) going towards \(B\) are:
| 1. | Zero, Negative, Negative |
| 2. | Negative, Zero, Zero |
| 3. | Negative, Negative, Negative |
| 4. | Positive, Positive, Positive |
Which of the following relationships between the acceleration \(a\) and the displacement \(x\) of a particle involves simple harmonic motion?

A spring having a spring constant of \(1200\) N/m is mounted on a horizontal table as shown in the figure. A mass of \(3\) kg is attached to the free end of the spring. The mass is then pulled sideways to a distance of \(2.0\) cm and released. The frequency of oscillations will be:
| 1. | \(3.0~\text{s}^{-1}\) | 2. | \(2.7~\text{s}^{-1}\) |
| 3. | \(1.2~\text{s}^{-1}\) | 4. | \(3.2~\text{s}^{-1}\) |
A spring having a spring constant of \(1200\) N/m is mounted on a horizontal table as shown in the figure. A mass of \(3\) kg is attached to the free end of the spring. The mass is then pulled sideways to a distance of \(2.0\) cm and released. The maximum acceleration of the mass is:
| 1. | \(6\) ms–2 | 2. | \(8\) ms–2 |
| 3. | \(3.3\) ms–2 | 4. | \(5.1\) ms–2 |
