A pendulum has time period T. If it is taken on to another planet having acceleration due to gravity half and mass 9 times that of the earth, then its time period on the other planet will be:

A particle in SHM is described by the displacement equation $\mathrm{x}\left(\mathrm{t}\right)=\mathrm{Acos} \left(\mathrm{\omega t}+\mathrm{\theta }\right).$ If the initial position of the particle is 1 cm and its initial velocity is $\mathrm{\pi }$cm/s, what is its amplitude?

(2)  $\sqrt{2}$ cm

(3)    2 cm     

(4)   2.5 cm

A simple pendulum hanging from the ceiling of a stationary lift has a time period T₁. When the lift moves downward with constant velocity, then the time period becomes T₂. It can be concluded that: 

If the length of a pendulum is made 9 times and mass of the bob is made 4 times, then the value of time period will become:

1. 3T

2. 3/2T

3. 4T

4. 2T

A simple harmonic wave having an amplitude a and time period T is represented by the equation $y=5 \mathrm{sin\pi }\left(t+4\right)$m Then the value of amplitude (a) in (m) and time period  (T) in second are
