The upper end of the spring is fixed and a mass $m$ is attached to its lower end. When the mass is slightly pulled down and released,it oscillates with a time period of $3 \text{ s}$. If the mass $m$ is increased by $1 \text{ kg}$,the time period becomes $5 \text{ s}$. The value of $m$ is (mass of the spring is negligible).

  • C
    $\frac{8}{13} \text{ kg}$
  • D

$A$ block of mass $2 \ kg$ is attached to one end of a massless spring whose other end is fixed at a wall. The spring-mass system moves on a frictionless horizontal table. The spring's natural length is $2 \ m$ and the spring constant is $200 \ N/m$. The block is pushed such that the length of the spring becomes $1 \ m$ and then released. At a distance $x \ m \ (x < 2)$ from the wall,the speed of the block will be:

$A$ particle is suspended from a vertical spring which is executing $S.H.M.$ of frequency $5 \ Hz$. The spring is unstretched at the highest point of oscillation. What is the maximum speed of the particle? (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

$A$ 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 $g = 9.8\, m/s^2$]

As shown in the figure,a spring with spring constant $k = 150 \ N/m$ is kept in a stretched position by holding two masses of $1 \ kg$ and $200 \ g$ at a separation greater than the natural length of the spring. When the masses are released,assuming the horizontal surface to be frictionless,the angular frequency (in $SI$ units) of the system is:

Two bodies $P$ and $Q$ of equal mass are suspended from two separate massless springs of force constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ respectively. If the maximum velocities of them are equal during their motion,the ratio of the amplitude of $P$ to $Q$ is:
