Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are suspended together by a massless spring of constant $K$. When the masses are in equilibrium, $m_1$ is removed without disturbing the system. The amplitude of oscillations is
$\frac{{{m_1}g}}{K}$
$\frac{{{m_2}g}}{K}$
$\frac{{({m_1} + {m_2})g}}{K}$
$\frac{{({m_1} - {m_2})g}}{K}$
If a spring has time period $T$, and is cut into $n$ equal parts, then the time period of each part will be
Figure $(a)$ shows a spring of force constant $k$ clamped rigidly at one end and a mass $m$ attached to its free end. A force $F$ applied at the free end stretches the spring. Figure $(b)$ shows the same spring with both ends free and attached to a mass $m$ at etther end. Each end of the spring in Figure $( b )$ is stretched by the same force $F.$
$(a)$ What is the maximum extension of the spring in the two cases?
$(b)$ If the mass in Figure $(a)$ and the two masses in Figure $(b)$ are released, what is the period of oscillation in each case?
Infinite springs with force constant $k$, $2k$, $4k$ and $8k$.... respectively are connected in series. The effective force constant of the spring will be
A block whose mass is $1 \;kg$ is fastened to a spring. The spring has a spring constant of $50\; N m ^{-1}$. The block is pulled to a distance $x=10\; cm$ from its equilibrlum position at $x=0$ on a frictionless surface from rest at $t=0 .$ Calculate the kinetic, potentlal and total energles of the block when it is $5 \;cm$ away from the mean position.
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 spring constant $k,$ the frequency of oscillation of given body is :
