Question

In a horizontal spring-mass system, mass m is released after being displaced towards right by some distance at t = 0 on a frictionless surface. The phase angle of the motion in radian when it is first time passing through the equilibrium position is equal to

 

Easy
Solution

Equation of the SHM x=Acosωt.

When x=0 for the first time, phase ωt=π2.
