$A$ clock is designed based on the oscillations of a spring-block system suspended vertically in the absence of air resistance. Assume it shows the correct time when a spring of stiffness $k$ and a block of mass $m$ are used. If the block is replaced by another block of mass $4m$, choose the correct option.

  • A
    The clock runs slow by $0.5 \text{ s}$ for every one second.
  • B
    The clock runs fast by $0.5 \text{ s}$ for every one second.
  • C
    The clock runs fast by $1 \text{ s}$ for every one second.
  • D
    The clock runs slow by $1 \text{ s}$ for every one second.

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is attached to one end of a massless spring of force constant $k$,lying on a frictionless horizontal plane. The other end of the spring is fixed. The particle starts moving horizontally from its equilibrium position at time $t=0$ with an initial velocity $u_0$. When the speed of the particle is $0.5 u_0$,it collides elastically with a rigid wall. After this collision:
$(A)$ the speed of the particle when it returns to its equilibrium position is $u_0$.
$(B)$ the time at which the particle passes through the equilibrium position for the first time is $t=\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$.
$(C)$ the time at which the maximum compression of the spring occurs is $t =\frac{4 \pi}{3} \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$.
$(D)$ the time at which the particle passes through the equilibrium position for the second time is $t=\frac{5 \pi}{3} \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$.

$A$ mass at the end of a spring executes harmonic motion about an equilibrium position with an amplitude $A$. Its speed as it passes through the equilibrium position is $V$. If extended $2A$ and released,the speed of the mass passing through the equilibrium position will be

$A$ block of mass $M_1$ is hung by a light spring of force constant $k$ from the top bar of a reverse $U$-frame of mass $M_2$ resting on the floor. The block is pulled down from its equilibrium position by a distance $x$ and then released. Find the minimum value of $x$ such that the reverse $U$-frame will leave the floor momentarily.
