(N/A) Given: Amplitude $A = 5\; cm = 0.05\; m$,Time period $T = 0.2\; s$. Angular frequency $\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} = \frac{2\pi}{0.2} = 10\pi\; rad/s$.
$(a)$ For displacement $x = 5\; cm = 0.05\; m$:
Acceleration $a = -\omega^2 x = -(10\pi)^2 \times 0.05 = -100\pi^2 \times 0.05 = -5\pi^2\; m/s^2$.
Velocity $v = \omega \sqrt{A^2 - x^2} = 10\pi \sqrt{(0.05)^2 - (0.05)^2} = 0\; m/s$.
$(b)$ For displacement $x = 3\; cm = 0.03\; m$:
Acceleration $a = -\omega^2 x = -(10\pi)^2 \times 0.03 = -100\pi^2 \times 0.03 = -3\pi^2\; m/s^2$.
Velocity $v = \omega \sqrt{A^2 - x^2} = 10\pi \sqrt{(0.05)^2 - (0.03)^2} = 10\pi \sqrt{0.0025 - 0.0009} = 10\pi \sqrt{0.0016} = 10\pi \times 0.04 = 0.4\pi\; m/s$.
$(c)$ For displacement $x = 0\; m$:
Acceleration $a = -\omega^2 x = 0\; m/s^2$.
Velocity $v = \omega \sqrt{A^2 - x^2} = 10\pi \sqrt{(0.05)^2 - 0} = 10\pi \times 0.05 = 0.5\pi\; m/s$.

Two masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length $l$. The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant $k$ at the centre of mass of the rod-mass system (see figure). Because of the torsional constant $k$,the restoring torque is $\tau = k\theta$ for an angular displacement $\theta$. If the rod is rotated by $\theta_0$ and released,the tension in it when it passes through its mean position will be
