$A$ particle of mass $m$ in a unidirectional potential field has potential energy $U(x) = \alpha + 2 \beta x^2$,where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are positive constants. Find its time period of oscillation.

Five identical springs are used in the following three configurations. The time periods of vertical oscillations in configurations $(i)$,$(ii)$ and $(iii)$ are in the ratio

The frequency of oscillation of the spring-mass system shown in the figure is:

Write the expression for the restoring force produced in a spring when a body attached to its end is pulled down by a small displacement $x$.

Two small bodies of mass $2 \, kg$ each are attached to each other using a thread of length $10 \, cm$,and hang on a spring whose force constant is $200 \, N/m$,as shown in the figure. We burn the thread. What is the distance between the two bodies when the top body first arrives at its highest position? (Take $\pi^2 = 10$)

$A$ block of mass $2 \ kg$ is attached to one end of a massless spring whose other end is fixed at a wall. The spring-mass system moves on a frictionless horizontal table. The spring's natural length is $2 \ m$ and the spring constant is $200 \ N/m$. The block is pushed such that the length of the spring becomes $1 \ m$ and then released. At a distance $x \ m \ (x < 2)$ from the wall,the speed of the block will be:
