A particle is executing Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM). The ratio of potential energy and kinetic energy of the particle when its displacement is half of its amplitude will be:
Show Hint
In SHM, potential energy is maximum at extreme displacement, while kinetic energy peaks at the equilibrium position. At intermediate displacements, use \( PE + KE = E_{\text{total}} \) to analyze energy distribution.

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 ω(t) and average amplitude A(t) of the system change with time t. Which one of the following options schematically depicts these changes correctly?
