The motion of a mass on a spring,with spring constant $K$ is as shown in the figure. The equation of motion is given by $x(t) = A \sin \omega t + B \cos \omega t$ with $\omega = \sqrt{\frac{K}{m}}$. Suppose that at time $t = 0$,the position of the mass is $x(0)$ and velocity is $v(0)$,then its displacement can also be represented as $x(t) = C \cos (\omega t - \phi)$,where $C$ and $\phi$ are:

  • A
    $C = \sqrt{\frac{2 v(0)^2}{\omega^2} + x(0)^2}, \phi = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{x(0) \omega}{2 v(0)} \right)$
  • B
    $C = \sqrt{\frac{v(0)^2}{\omega^2} + x(0)^2}, \phi = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{x(0) \omega}{v(0)} \right)$
  • C
    $C = \sqrt{\frac{2 v(0)^2}{\omega^2} + x(0)^2}, \phi = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{v(0)}{x(0) \omega} \right)$
  • D
    $C = \sqrt{\frac{v(0)^2}{\omega^2} + x(0)^2}, \phi = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{v(0)}{x(0) \omega} \right)$

$A$ block of mass $m$ attached to a massless spring is performing oscillatory motion of amplitude $A$ on a frictionless horizontal plane. If half of the mass of the block breaks off when it is passing through its equilibrium point,the amplitude of oscillation for the remaining system becomes $fA$. The value of $f$ is

$A$ spring-block system in horizontal oscillation has a time period $T$. If the spring is cut into four equal parts and the block is re-connected with one of the parts,what will be the new time period of oscillation?

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:

Two bodies $M$ and $N$ of equal masses are suspended from two separate massless springs of force constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ respectively. If the two bodies oscillate vertically such that their maximum velocities are equal,the ratio of the amplitude of $M$ to that of $N$ is

$A$ horizontal spring executes $S.H.M.$ with amplitude $A_{1}$,when mass $m_{1}$ is attached to it. When it passes through the mean position,another mass $m_{2}$ is placed on it. Both masses move together with amplitude $A_{2}$. Therefore,the ratio $A_{2}: A_{1}$ is:
