The equivalent spring constant of the system as shown in the figure will be:

$A$ body of mass $m$ is suspended to an ideal spring of force constant $k$. The expected change in the position of the body due to an additional force $F$ acting vertically downwards is

Two identical point masses $P$ and $Q$,suspended from two separate massless springs of spring constants $k_1$ and $k_2$,respectively,oscillate vertically. If their maximum speeds are the same,the ratio $(A_Q / A_P)$ of the amplitude $A_Q$ of mass $Q$ to the amplitude $A_P$ of mass $P$ is

Which type of spring has fast oscillations: stiff or soft?

$A$ block $P$ of mass $m$ is placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. Another block $Q$ of the same mass $m$ is kept on $P$ and connected to a wall with the help of a spring of spring constant $k$ as shown in the figure. $\mu_s$ is the coefficient of static friction between $P$ and $Q$. The blocks move together performing simple harmonic motion $(SHM)$ of amplitude $A$. The maximum value of the friction force between $P$ and $Q$ is

$A$ pan with a set of weights is attached to a light spring. When disturbed,the mass-spring system oscillates with a time period of $0.6 \ s$. When some additional weights are added,the time period becomes $0.7 \ s$. The extension caused by the additional weights is approximately given by ......... $cm$.
