    $T = \pi \sqrt{\left(\frac{2 m}{9 k }\right)}$
  • B
    $T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\left(\frac{2 m}{9 k }\right)}$

$A$ mass is suspended from a vertical spring which is executing $S.H.M.$ of frequency $5 Hz$. The spring is unstretched at the highest point of oscillation. The maximum speed of the mass is [acceleration due to gravity $g=10 m s^{-2}$].

$A$ block with mass $M$ is connected by a massless spring with stiffness constant $k$ to a rigid wall and moves without friction on a horizontal surface. The block oscillates with small amplitude $A$ about an equilibrium position $x_0$. Consider two cases: $(i)$ when the block is at $x_0$; and $(ii)$ when the block is at $x = x_0 + A$. In both cases, a particle with mass $m$ is placed on the mass $M$. Which of the following statements are correct?

$A$ mass attached to a spring is free to oscillate,with angular velocity $\omega$,in a horizontal plane without friction or damping. It is pulled to a distance $x_{0}$ and pushed towards the centre with a velocity $v_{0}$ at time $t=0$. Determine the amplitude of the resulting oscillations in terms of the parameters $\omega, x_{0}$ and $v_{0}$. [Hint: Start with the equation $x=A \cos (\omega t+\theta)$ and note that the initial velocity is negative.]

$A$ horizontal spring executes $S.H.M.$ with amplitude $A_{1}$,when mass $m_{1}$ is attached to it. When it passes through the mean position,another mass $m_{2}$ is placed on it. Both masses move together with amplitude $A_{2}$. Therefore,the ratio $A_{2}: A_{1}$ is:
