MCQ (Single Correct Answer)
1

Consider a simple pendulum undergoing simple harmonic motion with a time period $T$, and a fixed amplitude $\theta_0$ of angular oscillation. Its angular momentum about the point of suspension exhibits an oscillatory behaviour with an amplitude $A$. Which of the following relations between $A$ and $T$ is correct?

As shown in the figure a block is resting on a frictionless floor and is attached to the free end of a spring. The right edge of the block in equilibrium is at a distance $d$ from the wall. When the spring is compressed by a distance $d / 2$ and released, the time-period of the motion is $T$. Similarly, when compressed by a distance $2 d$ and released, the time-period is $T_0$. Considering elastic collision between the block and the wall, what is the value of the quantity $T_0 / T$ ? IAT (IISER) 2022 Physics - Simple Harmonic Motion Question 1 English
