Phase space diagrams are useful tools in analyzing all kinds of dynamical problems. They are especially useful in studying the changes in motion as initial position and momentum are changed. Here we consider some simple dynamical systems in one-dimension. For such systems, phase space is a plane in which position is plotted along the horizontal axis and momentum is plotted along the vertical axis. The phase space diagram is the $x(t)$ vs. $p(t)$ curve in this plane. The arrow on the curve indicates the time flow. For example, the phase space diagram for a particle moving with constant velocity is a straight line as shown in the figure. We use the sign convention in which position or momentum upwards (or to the right) is positive and downwards (or to the left) is negative.

The displacement-time graph of a particle executing $SHM$ is shown. Which of the following statements is wrong?

Due to some force $F_1$,a body oscillates with a period of $4/5 \, s$,and due to another force $F_2$,it oscillates with a period of $3/5 \, s$. If both forces act simultaneously,the new period will be .... $s$.

Two identical balls $A$ and $B$,each of mass $0.1 \ kg$,are attached to two identical massless springs. The spring-mass system is constrained to move inside a rigid smooth pipe bent in the form of a circle as shown in the figure. The pipe is fixed in a horizontal plane. The centers of the balls can move in a circle of radius $0.06 \ m$. Each spring has a natural length of $0.06\pi \ m$ and a force constant of $0.1 \ N/m$. Initially,both balls are displaced by an angle $\theta = \pi/6$ radian with respect to the diameter $PQ$ of the circle and released from rest. The frequency of oscillation of the ball $B$ is:

Two particles are in $SHM$ in a straight line. Amplitude $A$ and time period $T$ of both the particles are equal. At time $t=0$,one particle is at displacement $y_1 = +A$ and the other at $y_2 = -A/2$,and they are approaching towards each other. After what time do they cross each other?
