Two springs of force constants $300 \, N/m$ (Spring $A$) and $400 \, N/m$ (Spring $B$) are joined together in series. The combination is compressed by $8.75 \, cm$. The ratio of energy stored in $A$ and $B$ is $E_A / E_B$. Then $E_A / E_B$ is equal to:

  • A
    $4/3$
  • B
    $16/9$
  • C
    $3/4$
  • D
    $9/16$

$A$ spring with a spring constant $1200 \; N m^{-1}$ is mounted on a horizontal table as shown in the figure. $A$ mass of $3 \; kg$ is attached to the free end of the spring. The mass is then pulled sideways to a distance of $2.0 \; cm$ and released. Determine:
$(i)$ the frequency of oscillations,
$(ii)$ maximum acceleration of the mass,and
$(iii)$ the maximum speed of the mass.

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:

$A$ body of mass $M$ and charge $q$ is connected to a spring of spring constant $k$. It is oscillating along the $x-$ direction about its equilibrium position,taken to be at $x = 0$,with an amplitude $A$. An electric field $E$ is applied along the $x-$ direction. Which of the following statements is correct?

When a body of mass $8 \,kg$ is attached to a spring balance, the reading of the balance is $20 \,cm$. Instead of $8 \,kg$, if another body of mass $M$ is suspended from the spring balance and is made to oscillate vertically, the time period of oscillation is $\frac{\pi}{5} \,s$, then the value of $M$ is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,kg$)

$A$ mass $m = 8\,kg$ is attached to a spring as shown in the figure and held in position so that the spring remains unstretched. The spring constant is $k = 200\,N/m$. The mass $m$ is then released and begins to undergo small oscillations. The maximum velocity of the mass will be ..... $m/s$ $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$.
