Key Idea : Velocity is the time derivative of displacement. Writing the given equation of a point performing SHM x=asin(ωt+6π) Differentiating Eq. (i), w.r.t. time, we obtain y=dtdx=aωcos(ωt+6π) It is given that y=2aω, so that or 2aω=aωcos(ωt+6π) 21=cos(ωt+6π) or cos3π=cos(ωt+6π) or ⇒or ωt+6π=3πωt=6πt=6ωπ=6×2ππ×T=12T Thus, at 12T velocity of the point will be equal to half of its maximum velocity.

In an oscillating spring mass system, a spring is connected to a box filled with sand. As the box oscillates, sand leaks slowly out of the box vertically so that the average frequency $\omega(t)$ and average amplitude $A(t)$ of the system change with time $t$. Which one of the following options schematically depicts these changes correctly?
Two identical point masses P and Q , suspended from two separate massless springs of spring constants $\mathrm{k}_1$ and $\mathrm{k}_2$, respectively, oscillate vertically. If their maximum speeds are the same, the ratio $\left(A_Q / A_P\right)$ of the amplitude $A_Q$ of mass $Q$ to the amplitude $A_P$ of mass $P$ is :
