A particle of mass \(m\) is executing oscillations about the origin on the \(x\text-\)axis. Its potential energy is \(U(x)= k|x|\) where \(k\) is a positive constant. If the amplitude of oscillation is \(a\), then its time period \(T\) is directly proportional to:
1. \(a^{-{1/2}}\)
2. \(a\)
3. \(a^{1/2}\)
4. \(a^0\)
The main scale of a vernier calliper has \(n\) divisions/cm. \(n\) divisions of the vernier scale coincide with \((n-1)\) divisions of the main scale. The least count of the vernier calliper is:
1. \(\dfrac{1}{(n+1)(n-1)}\) cm
2. \(\dfrac{1}{n}\) cm
3. \(\dfrac{1}{n^{2}}\) cm
4. \(\dfrac{1}{(n)(n+1)}\) cm
