$A$ block of mass $1 \ kg$ is fastened to a spring of spring constant $100 \ N \ m^{-1}$. The block is pulled to a distance $x = 10 \ cm$ from its equilibrium position $(x = 0 \ cm)$ on a frictionless surface,from rest at $t = 0$. The kinetic energy and the potential energy of the block when it is $5 \ cm$ away from the mean position are:

  • A
    $0.375 \ J, 0.125 \ J$
  • B
    $0.125 \ J, 0.375 \ J$
  • C
    $0.125 \ J, 0.125 \ J$
  • D
    $0.375 \ J, 0.375 \ J$

Three masses $700 \, g, 500 \, g$,and $400 \, g$ are suspended at the end of a spring as shown and are in equilibrium. When the $700 \, g$ mass is removed,the system oscillates with a period of $3 \, s$. When the $500 \, g$ mass is also removed,it will oscillate with a period of ...... $s$.

The angular frequency of a spring-block system is $\omega_0$. This system is suspended from the ceiling of an elevator moving downwards with a constant speed $v_0$. The block is at rest relative to the elevator. The lift is suddenly stopped. Assuming the downward direction as positive,choose the wrong statement:

Two blocks of masses $m$ and $M$ $(M > m)$ are placed on a frictionless table as shown in the figure. $A$ massless spring with spring constant $k$ is attached to the lower block. If the system is slightly displaced and released,then ($\mu =$ coefficient of friction between the two blocks):
$(A)$ The time period of small oscillation of the two blocks is $T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M + m}{k}}$
$(B)$ The acceleration of the blocks is $a = \frac{kx}{M + m}$ ($x =$ displacement of the blocks from the mean position)
$(C)$ The magnitude of the frictional force on the upper block is $f = \frac{mkx}{M + m}$
$(D)$ The maximum amplitude of the upper block,if it does not slip,is $A = \frac{\mu mg(M + m)}{mk} = \frac{\mu g(M + m)}{k}$ (Wait,let's re-evaluate: $f_{max} = \mu mg$. Since $f = ma = m \cdot \frac{kx}{M+m}$,at max amplitude $A$,$m \cdot \frac{kA}{M+m} = \mu mg \implies A = \frac{\mu g(M+m)}{k}$)
$(E)$ Maximum frictional force can be $\mu mg$.
