$A$ mass $m_1$ performs $S.H.M.$ with amplitude $A$ while connected to a horizontal spring. While mass $m_1$ is passing through the mean position, another mass $m_2$ $(m_2 < m_1)$ is placed on it so that both masses move together with amplitude $A_1$. The ratio of $A/A_1$ is

  • A
    $[\frac{m_1 + m_2}{m_1}]^{1/2}$
  • B
    $[\frac{m_1}{m_1 + m_2}]^{1/2}$
  • C
    $\frac{m_1}{m_1 + m_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{m_2}{m_1 + m_2}$

$A$ 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?

What is the condition for a body suspended at the end of a spring to undergo simple harmonic oscillation?

$A$ mass attached to a spring is free to oscillate,with angular velocity $\omega$,in a horizontal plane without friction or damping. It is pulled to a distance $x_{0}$ and pushed towards the centre with a velocity $v_{0}$ at time $t=0$. Determine the amplitude of the resulting oscillations in terms of the parameters $\omega, x_{0}$ and $v_{0}$. [Hint: Start with the equation $x=A \cos (\omega t+\theta)$ and note that the initial velocity is negative.]
