Find the maximum amplitude for safe $SHM$ (the block does not topple during $SHM$) of a cubical block of side $a$ on a smooth horizontal floor as shown in the figure (the spring is massless). The spring is attached at a height of $2a/3$ from the floor.

  • A
    $\frac{mg}{3K}$
  • B
    $\frac{3mg}{K}$
  • C
    $\frac{2mg}{3K}$
  • D
    None

$A$ block of mass $M_1$ is hung by a light spring of force constant $k$ from the top bar of a reverse $U$-frame of mass $M_2$ resting on the floor. The block is pulled down from its equilibrium position by a distance $x$ and then released. Find the minimum value of $x$ such that the reverse $U$-frame will leave the floor momentarily.

In the situation as shown in the figure,the time period of vertical oscillation of the block for small displacements will be:

$A$ mass $m$ attached to the free end of a spring executes $SHM$ with a period of $1\; s$. If the mass is increased by $3\; kg$,the period of oscillation increases by $1\; s$. The value of mass $m$ is $..............kg$.

$A$ 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 the mass is $f_2$. Which of the following relations between the frequencies is correct?

$A$ $3 \ kg$ block is connected as shown in the figure. The spring constants of the two springs $K_1$ and $K_2$ are $50 \ Nm^{-1}$ and $150 \ Nm^{-1}$ respectively. The block is released from rest with the springs unstretched. The acceleration of the block in its lowest position is $(g=10 \ ms^{-2})$. (in $ms^{-2}$)
