A simple pendulum and a homogeneous rod pivoted at its end are free to oscillate with small amplitude. What is the ratio of their periods of swing if their lengths are identical?


Important Questions on Oscillations




The position co-ordinates of a particle moving in a coordinate system is given by
and
The speed of the particle is:




An ideal gas enclosed in a vertical cylindrical container supports a freely moving piston of mass . The piston and the cylinder have equal cross-sectional area . When the piston is in equilibrium, the volume of the gas is and its pressure is . The piston is slightly displaced from the equilibrium position and released. Assuming that the system is completely isolated from its surrounding, the piston executes a simple harmonic motion with frequency
[Assume the system is in space.]

A particle of mass and charge is lying at the mid-point of two stationary particles kept at a distance when each is carrying same charge . If the free charged particle is displaced from its equilibrium position through distance . The particle executes SHM. Its angular frequency of oscillation will be _______ (if )

A cone with half the density of water is floating in water as shown in figure. It is depressed down by a small distance and released. The frequency of simple harmonic oscillations of the cone is










The point moves with a uniform speed along the circumference of a circle of radius and covers in . The perpendicular projection from on the diameter represents the simple harmonic motion of . The restoration force per unit mass when touches will be :
