Important Questions on Oscillations
The vibration of a component in a machine is represented by the equation: . Where, the displacement is in metres. Determine the: Amplitude

A trolley is at rest, tethered between two springs. It is pulled to one side and, when time , it is released so that it oscillates back and forth with S.H.M. The period of its motion is . Write an equation for its displacement at any time (assume that the motion is not damped by frictional forces).

A trolley is at rest, tethered between two springs. It is pulled to one side and, when time , it is released so that it oscillates back and forth with s.h.m. The period of its motion is .
Sketch a displacement-time graph to show two cycles of the motion, giving values where appropriate.
