The periodic time of $SHM$ is also measured by $T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\text{displacement}}{\text{acceleration}}}$. Can we say that the time period depends on the displacement?

(N/A) No,the time period does not depend on the displacement. In $SHM$,the acceleration $a$ is directly proportional to the displacement $x$,given by the relation $a = -\omega^2 x$. When we substitute this into the formula,the displacement terms cancel out: $T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{x}{\omega^2 x}} = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{1}{\omega^2}} = \frac{2 \pi}{\omega}$. Thus,the time period is independent of the displacement.

$A$ particle is executing simple harmonic motion $(SHM)$ with a time period $T = 4 \ s$. At $t = 0$,the particle is at a position where its angular position is $45^\circ$ with the $x$-axis. Find the displacement equation of the particle along the $x$-axis.

If the displacement of a particle executing simple harmonic motion is given by $x = 0.5 \cos (125.6 t)$,then the time period of oscillation of the particle is nearly. (Here $x$ is displacement in metre and $t$ is time in second) (in $s$)
