$A$ vertical spring-mass system has the same time period as a simple pendulum undergoing small oscillations. Now, both of them are placed in an elevator moving downwards with an acceleration $a = 5 \,m/s^2$. The ratio of the time period of the spring-mass system to the time period of the pendulum is (Assume, acceleration due to gravity, $g = 10 \,m/s^2$)

Two identical balls $A$ and $B$,each of mass $0.1 \ kg$,are attached to two identical massless springs. The spring-mass system is constrained to move inside a rigid smooth pipe bent in the form of a circle as shown in the figure. The pipe is fixed in a horizontal plane. The centers of the balls can move in a circle of radius $0.06 \ m$. Each spring has a natural length of $0.06\pi \ m$ and a force constant of $0.1 \ N/m$. Initially,both balls are displaced by an angle $\theta = \pi/6$ radian with respect to the diameter $PQ$ of the circle and released from rest. The frequency of oscillation of the ball $B$ is:

At $t=0$,a particle executing $SHM$ with a time period $3 \ s$ is in phase with another particle executing $SHM$. The time period of the second particle is $T$ (less than $3 \ s$). If they are again in the same phase for the third time after $45 \ s$,then the value of $T$ is .... . (in $s$)

The amplitude of a particle executing $SHM$ about $O$ is $10 \, cm.$ Then:
