A steady force of $120\ N$ is required to push a boat of mass $700\ kg$ through water at a constant speed of $1\ m/s$ . If the boat is fastened by a spring and held at $2\ m$ from the equilibrium position by a force of $450\ N$ , find the angular frequency of damped $SHM$  ..... $rad/s$ 

$Assertion :$ The time-period of pendulum, on a satellite orbiting the earth is infinity.
$Reason :$ Time-period of a pendulum is inversely proportional to $\sqrt g$

Two springs of constant ${k_1}$and ${k_2}$are joined in series. The effective spring constant of the combination is given by

A mass m is suspended from a spring of length l and force constant $K$. The frequency of vibration of the mass is ${f_1}$. The spring is cut into two equal parts and the same mass is suspended from one of the parts. The new frequency of vibration of mass is ${f_2}$. Which of the following relations between the frequencies is correct

Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are supended together by a massless spring of constant $k$. When the masses are in equilibrium, $m_1$ is removed without disturbing the system; the amplitude of vibration is

Two identical springs of spring constant $'2k'$ are attached to a block of mass $m$ and to fixed support (see figure). When the mass is displaced from equilibrium position on either side, it executes simple harmonic motion. The time period of oscillations of this sytem is ...... .
