For a particle performing linear $SHM$,its average speed over $1$ oscillation is ($A =$ amplitude of $SHM$,$n =$ frequency of oscillation). (in $A \ n$)

If the displacement of a particle executing simple harmonic motion is given by $x = 0.5 \cos (125.6 t)$,then the time period of oscillation of the particle is nearly. (Here $x$ is displacement in metre and $t$ is time in second) (in $s$)
