  • A
    $K_1 + K_2$
  • B
    $K_1K_2 / (K_1 + K_2)$
  • C
    $K_1 - K_2$
  • D
    $K_1K_2 / (K_1 - K_2)$

The graph shown was obtained from experimental measurements of the period of oscillations $T$ for different masses $M$ placed in the scale pan on the lower end of the spring balance. The most likely reason for the line not passing through the origin is that the

In the given figure,a body of mass $M$ is held between two massless springs on a smooth inclined plane. The free ends of the springs are attached to firm supports. If each spring has a spring constant $k,$ the frequency of oscillation of the given body is:

$A$ spring of force constant $k$ is cut into two parts whose lengths are in the ratio $1:2$. The two parts are now connected as shown and a block of mass $m$ is connected to the combined spring. Find the period of oscillation performed by the block.

$A$ spring is stretched by $0.20\, m$ when a mass of $0.50\, kg$ is suspended. When a mass of $0.25\, kg$ is suspended,its period of oscillation will be .... $sec$ $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$
