An object undergoing simple harmonic motion takes to travel from one point of zero velocity to the next such point. The distance between those points is . Calculate the (a) period, (b) frequency and (c) amplitude of the motion.

Important Questions on Oscillations
In the figure, two identical springs of spring constant are attached to a block of mass . What is the frequency of oscillation on the frictionless floor?

An automobile can be considered to be mounted on four identical spring as far as vertical oscillation are concerned. The springs of a certain car are adjusted so that the oscillations have a frequency of .
(a) What is the spring constant of each spring if the mass of the car is and the mass is evenly distributed over the spring?
(b) What will be the oscillation frequency if five passenger averaging each ride in the car with an even distribution of mass?

If a stick of length oscillates as a physical pendulum.
