A spring whose unstretched length is $\ell $ has a force constant $k$. The spring is cut into two pieces of unstretched lengths $\ell_1$ and $\ell_2$ where, $\ell_1 = n\ell_2$ and $n$ is an integer. The ratio $k_1/k_2$ of the corresponding force constants, $k_1$ and $k_2$ will be
$n$
$\frac{1}{n^2}$
$n^2$
$\frac{1}{n}$
Two identical springs of spring constant $k$ are attached to a block of mass $m$ and to fixed supports as shown in Figure. Show that when the mass is displaced from its equilibrium position on either side, it executes a simple harmonic motion. Find the period of oscillations.
Force constant of a spring is $K$ . If half part is detached then force constant of the remaining spring will be
To make the frequency double of a spring oscillator, we have to
A mass $m$ is suspended from the two coupled springs connected in series. The force constant for springs are ${K_1}$ and ${K_2}$. The time period of the suspended mass will be
A mass $M$ is suspended from a light spring. An additional mass m added displaces the spring further by a distance $x$. Now the combined mass will oscillate on the spring with period
