The displacement of a particle, executing simple harmonic motion with time period T, is expressed as x(t) = A t, where A is the amplitude. The maximum value of potential energy of this oscillator is found at t = T/2 . The value of is .

As shown in the figure, a spring is kept in a stretched position with some extension by holding the masses 1 kg and 0.2 kg with a separation more than spring natural length and are released. Assuming the horizontal surface to be frictionless, the angular frequency (in SI unit) of the system is : [figure]
