$A$ body of mass $m$ is attached to the lower end of a spring whose upper end is fixed. The mass of the spring is negligible. When the mass $m$ is pulled down slightly and released,it oscillates with a time period of $3 \ s$. When the mass $m$ is increased by $1 \ kg$,the time period of oscillation becomes $5 \ s$. What is the value of $m$ in $kg$?

  • A
    $\frac{16}{9}$
  • B
    $\frac{9}{16}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{4}{3}$

$A$ 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:

Two springs of force constants $K$ and $2K$ are connected to a mass $m$ as shown in the figure. The frequency of oscillation of the mass is:

$A$ wooden block performs $SHM$ on a frictionless surface with frequency $v_0$. The block carries a charge $+Q$ on its surface. If now a uniform electric field $\vec{E}$ is switched-on as shown,then the $SHM$ of the block will be

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 $\mu mg$.
