The effective spring constant of two spring system as shown in figure will be

A mass $m = 8\,kg$ is attahced to a spring as shown in figure and held in position so that the spring remains unstretched. The spring constant is $200\,N/m$. The mass $m$ is then released and begins to undergo small oscillations. The maximum velocity of the mass will be ..... $m/s$ $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$

Two identical springs of spring constant $k$ are attached to a block of mass $m$ and to fixed supports as shown in figure. When the mass is displaced from equilibrium position by a distance $x$ towards right, find the restoring force.

In the figure shown, there is friction between the blocks $P$ and $Q$ but the contact between the block $Q$ and lower surface is frictionless. Initially the block $Q$ with block $P$ over it lies at $x=0$, with spring at its natural length. The block $Q$ is pulled to right and then released. As the spring - blocks system undergoes $S.H.M.$ with amplitude $A$, the block $P$ tends to slip over $Q . P$ is more likely to slip at

If two similar springs each of spring constant $K _{1}$ are joined in series, the new spring constant and time period would be changed by a factor

A $5\; kg$ collar is attached to a spring of spring constant $500\;N m ^{-1} .$ It slides without friction over a hortzontal rod. The collar is displaced from its equilibrium position by $10.0\; cm$ and released. Calculate

$(a)$ the period of oscillation.

$(b)$ the maximum speed and

$(c)$ maximum acceleration of the collar.
