When a periodic force \(\vec{F_1}\) acts on a particle, the particle oscillates according to the equation \(x=A\sin\omega t\). Under the effect of another periodic force \(\vec{F_2}\), the particle oscillates according to the equation \(y=B\sin(\omega t+\frac{\pi}{2})\). The amplitude of oscillation when the force (\(\vec{F_1}+\vec{F_2}\)) acts are:

A particle is executing SHM with amplitude A and angular frequency $\mathrm{\omega }$. The time taken by the particle to move from x = 0 to x = A/2 is

1.  $\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{12 \mathrm{\omega }}$

2.  $\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{6 \mathrm{\omega }}$

3.  $\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{3 \mathrm{\omega }}$

4.  $\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{\mathrm{\omega }}$

A spring-block system oscillates with a time period \(T\) on the earth's surface. When the system is brought into a deep mine, the time period of oscillation becomes \(T'.\) Then one can conclude that:
1. \(T'>T\)

3. \(T'=T\)
4. \(T'=2T\)
