Assertion:  The graph of potential energy and kinetic energy of a particle in SHM with respect to position is a parabola. 

Reason:  Potential energy and kinetic energy do not vary linearly with position.

• If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

• If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

• If assertion is true but reason is false.

• If both assertion and reason are false.

Motion of an oscillating liquid in a U tube is

• periodic but not simple harmonic.

• non-periodic.

Assertion:  The periodic time of a hard spring is less as compared to that of a soft spring. 

Reason:  The periodic time depends upon the spring constant, which is large for hard spring.
