$A$ mass hangs from a spring and oscillates vertically. The top end of the spring is attached to the top of a box,and the box is placed on a scale,as shown in the figure. The reading on the scale is largest when the mass is

  • A
    At its maximum height
  • B
    At its minimum height
  • C
    At the midpoint of its motion
  • D
    All points give the same reading.

$A$ block of mass $2\,kg$ is attached to two identical springs,each with a spring constant of $20\,N/m$. The block is placed on a frictionless surface,and the outer ends of the springs are attached to rigid supports (see figure). When the mass is displaced from its equilibrium position,it executes simple harmonic motion. The time period of oscillation is $\frac{\pi}{\sqrt{x}}$ in $SI$ units. The value of $x$ is $..........$

$A$ block of mass $m$ is attached to two springs of spring constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ as shown in the figure. The block is displaced by $x$ towards the right and released. The velocity of the block when it is at $x/2$ will be

Two particles $A$ and $B$ of equal masses are suspended from two massless springs of spring constants $K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$ respectively. If the maximum velocities during oscillations are equal,the ratio of the amplitude of $A$ and $B$ is

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of equal mass are suspended from two separate massless springs of spring constants $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively. The two bodies oscillate vertically such that their maximum velocities are equal. The ratio of the amplitude of $B$ to that of $A$ is

$A$ $10 \,kg$ metal block is attached to a spring of spring constant $1000 \,N \,m^{-1}$. The block is displaced from the equilibrium position by $10 \,cm$ and released. The maximum acceleration of the block is: (in $\,m/s^2$)
