The drawing shows a top view of a frictionless horizontal surface,where there are two identical springs with particles of mass $m_1$ and $m_2$ attached to them. Each spring has a spring constant of $1200 \ N/m$. The particles are pulled to the right and then released from the positions shown in the drawing. How much time passes before the particles are again side by side for the first time if $m_1 = 3.0 \ kg$ and $m_2 = 27 \ kg$?

  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{40} \ s$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi}{20} \ s$
  • C
    $\frac{3\pi}{40} \ s$
  • D
    $\frac{\pi}{10} \ s$

$A$ 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.

When a body of mass $8 \,kg$ is attached to a spring balance, the reading of the balance is $20 \,cm$. Instead of $8 \,kg$, if another body of mass $M$ is suspended from the spring balance and is made to oscillate vertically, the time period of oscillation is $\frac{\pi}{5} \,s$, then the value of $M$ is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,kg$)

$A$ mass $M$,attached to a horizontal spring,executes $S.H.M.$ with amplitude $A_1$. When the mass $M$ passes through its mean position,a smaller mass $m$ is placed over it and both of them move together with amplitude $A_2$. The ratio of $\frac{A_1}{A_2}$ is

$A$ mass $m$ is suspended from two coupled springs connected in series. The force constants for the springs are $K_1$ and $K_2$. The time period of the suspended mass will be:

When a mass $m$ is attached to a spring,it normally extends by $0.2\, m$. If the mass $m$ is given a slight additional extension and released,what will be its time period?
