$A$ mass $0.9 \, kg$,attached to a horizontal spring,executes $SHM$ with an amplitude $A_{1}$. When this mass passes through its mean position,a smaller mass of $124 \, g$ is placed over it and both masses move together with amplitude $A_{2}$. If the ratio $\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}$ is $\frac{\alpha}{\alpha-1}$,then the value of $\alpha$ will be $......$

The drawing shows a top view of a frictionless horizontal surface,where there are two identical springs with particles of mass $m_1$ and $m_2$ attached to them. Each spring has a spring constant of $1200 \ N/m$. The particles are pulled to the right and then released from the positions shown in the drawing. How much time passes before the particles are again side by side for the first time if $m_1 = 3.0 \ kg$ and $m_2 = 27 \ kg$?

Two particles $A$ and $B$ of masses $m$ and $2m$ are suspended from massless springs of force constants $K_1$ and $K_2$. During their oscillation, if their maximum velocities are equal, then the ratio of amplitudes of $A$ and $B$ is

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 either 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?

All the springs in figures $(a)$,$(b)$,and $(c)$ are identical,each having a force constant $K$. $A$ mass $m$ is attached to each system. If $T_a, T_b$,and $T_c$ are the time periods of oscillations of the three systems in figures $(a)$,$(b)$,and $(c)$ respectively,then:

When a mass $m$ is attached to a spring,it extends by $0.2 \ m$. The mass $m$ is given a slight additional extension and released. Find the time period (take $g = \pi^2 \ m/s^2$).
