One end of a spring of force constant $k$ is fixed to a vertical wall and the other to a block of mass $m$ resting on a smooth horizontal surface. There is another wall at a distance $x_0$ from the block. The spring is then compressed by $2x_0$ and released. The time taken to strike the wall is

When a body of mass $1.0 \,kg$ is suspended from a certain light spring hanging vertically, its length increases by $5 \,cm$. By suspending a $2.0 \,kg$ block to the spring and if the block is pulled through $10 \,cm$ and released, the maximum velocity in $m/s$ is: (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,m/s^2$)

$A$ cylindrical block of density $\rho$ is partially immersed in a liquid of density $3\rho$. The plane surface of the block remains parallel to the surface of the liquid. The height of the block is $60\, cm$. The block performs $SHM$ when displaced from its mean position. [Use $g = 9.8\, m/s^2$]

$A$ mass $m$ is attached to two springs of same force constant $K$,as shown in the following four arrangements. If $T_1, T_2, T_3$ and $T_4$ are the time periods of oscillation in the respective arrangements,in which case is the time period maximum?
