$A$ cylindrical cork of uniform density floats in a liquid of density $\rho_1$. If the cork is depressed slightly and released, it oscillates harmonically with time period $T$. If the same cork floats in another liquid of density $\rho_2$, then the similar oscillation has time period $2T$. The value of $\rho_2/\rho_1$ is :

$A$ simple pendulum, consisting of a small ball of mass $m$ attached to a massless string hanging vertically from the ceiling, is oscillating with an amplitude such that $T_{\max } = 2 T_{\min }$, where $T_{\max }$ and $T_{\min }$ are the maximum and minimum tension in the string respectively. The value of maximum tension $T_{\max }$ in the string is
