$A$ particle performing linear $S.H.M.$ has a period of $8 \ s$. At time $t=0$,it is at the mean position. The ratio of the distances travelled by the particle in the $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ second is $(\cos 45^{\circ} = 1/\sqrt{2})$.

$A$ particle executes $SHM$ with an amplitude of $20 \, cm$ and a time period of $12 \, s$. What is the minimum time required for it to move between two points $10 \, cm$ on either side of the mean position?

$A$ large number of random snapshots using a camera are taken of a particle in simple harmonic motion between $x = -x_0$ and $x = +x_0$,with the origin $x = 0$ as the mean position. $A$ histogram of the total number of times the particle is recorded about a given position (Event no.) would most closely resemble:

The displacement-time equation of a particle executing $SHM$ is $x = A \sin(\omega t + \phi)$. At time $t = 0$,the position of the particle is $x = A/2$ and it is moving along the negative $x$-direction. Then the phase angle $\phi$ is:

The amplitude and the periodic time of a $S.H.M.$ are $5 \, cm$ and $6 \, s$ respectively. At a distance of $2.5 \, cm$ away from the mean position,the phase will be

$A$ particle executing $SHM$ of amplitude $4 \, cm$ and $T = 4 \, s$. The time taken by it to move from $+2 \, cm$ to $+2\sqrt{3} \, cm$ is
