Four massless springs whose force constants are $2K, 2K, K$ and $2K$ respectively are attached to a mass $M$ kept on a frictionless plane as shown in the figure. If mass $M$ is displaced in the horizontal direction,then the frequency of the oscillating system is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{K}{4 M}}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{4 K}{M}}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{K}{7 M}}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{7 K}{M}}$

$A$ spring-mass system (mass $m$,spring constant $k$,and natural length $\ell_{0}$) rests in equilibrium on a horizontal disc. The free end of the spring is fixed at the center of the disc. If the disc,together with the spring-mass system,rotates about its axis with an angular velocity $\omega$ (where $k >> m \omega^{2}$),the relative change in the length of the spring is best given by which option?

If two similar springs each of spring constant $K$ are joined in series,the new spring constant and time period would be changed by a factor of:

$A$ small block of mass $m$,having charge $q$,is placed on a frictionless inclined plane making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. There exists a uniform magnetic field $B$ parallel to the inclined plane but perpendicular to the length of the spring. If $m$ is slightly pulled on the inclined plane in the downward direction and released,the time period of oscillation will be (assume that the block does not leave contact with the plane):

$A$ block with mass $M$ is connected by a massless spring with stiffness constant $k$ to a rigid wall and moves without friction on a horizontal surface. The block oscillates with small amplitude $A$ about an equilibrium position $x_0$. Consider two cases: $(i)$ when the block is at $x_0$; and $(ii)$ when the block is at $x = x_0 + A$. In both cases, a particle with mass $m$ is placed on the mass $M$. Which of the following statements are correct?
