$A$ particle is subjected to two simple harmonic motions as:
$x_1 = \sqrt{7} \sin(5t) \ cm$
and $x_2 = 2\sqrt{7} \sin(5t + \frac{\pi}{3}) \ cm$
where $x$ is displacement and $t$ is time in seconds.
The maximum acceleration of the particle is $x \times 10^{-2} \ ms^{-2}$. The value of $x$ is

Two particles execute simple harmonic motion along the same straight line with the same amplitude and same frequency. The two particles pass one another when moving in opposite directions each time at a distance of $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ times the amplitude from their common mean position. The phase difference between the two particles is (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ particle is subjected to two mutually perpendicular simple harmonic motions such that its $x$ and $y$ coordinates are given by:
$x = 2 \sin \omega t$
