The displacement of a damped harmonic oscillator is given by , where is the time in seconds. The time taken for the amplitude of the oscillator to drop to half of its initial value is close to


Important Questions on Oscillations

What will be the displacement equation of the simple harmonic motion obtained by combining the motions?
(Note: is an acute angle)

A body of mass executes simple harmonic motion about under the influence of a force shown below. The period of the SHM is approximately

In the figure shown, the time period and the amplitude, respectively, when mass is released from rest and when the spring is relaxed are (The inclined plane is smooth)


A mass is suspended by means of two coiled springs which have the same length in unstretched condition, as shown in figure. Their force constants are and , respectively. When set into vertical vibrations, the period will be
