$A$ mass $M$ is suspended from a spring of negligible mass. The spring is pulled a little and then released so that the mass executes simple harmonic oscillations with a time period $T$. If the mass is increased by $m$,then the time period becomes $\frac{5}{4}T$. The ratio of $\frac{m}{M}$ is

  • A
    $\frac{9}{16}$
  • B
    $\frac{25}{16}$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{4}$

$A$ mass $M$ is suspended by two springs of force constants $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively,as shown in the diagram. The total elongation (stretch) of the two springs is

As shown in the figure, a block of weight $20 \,N$ is connected to the top of a smooth inclined plane by a massless spring of constant $8 \pi^2 \,Nm^{-1}$. If the block is pulled slightly from its mean position and released, the period of oscillations is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,ms^{-2}$) (in $\,s$)

Two masses $m_1 = 1 \, kg$ and $m_2 = 0.5 \, kg$ are suspended together by a massless spring of spring constant $k = 12.5 \, N/m$. When the masses are in equilibrium,$m_1$ is removed without disturbing the system. The new amplitude of oscillation will be .......... $cm$.

How does the period of oscillation depend on the mass of the block attached to the end of a spring?
