Find the maximum amplitude for safe $SHM$ (the block does not topple during $SHM$) of a cubical block of side $a$ on a smooth horizontal floor as shown in the figure (the spring is massless). The spring is attached at a height of $2a/3$ from the floor.

  • A
    $\frac{mg}{3K}$
  • B
    $\frac{3mg}{K}$
  • C
    $\frac{2mg}{3K}$
  • D

$A$ mass hangs from a spring and oscillates vertically. The top end of the spring is attached to the top of a box,and the box is placed on a scale,as shown in the figure. The reading on the scale is largest when the mass is

On a frictionless horizontal plane,a bob of mass $m=0.1 \text{ kg}$ is attached to a spring with natural length $l_0=0.1 \text{ m}$. The spring constant is $k_1=0.009 \text{ N/m}$ when the length of the spring $l > l_0$ and is $k_2=0.016 \text{ N/m}$ when $l < l_0$. Initially,the bob is released from $l=0.15 \text{ m}$. Assume that Hooke's law remains valid throughout the motion. If the time period of the full oscillation is $T=(n \pi) \text{ s}$,then the integer closest to $n$ is:

Two massless springs of force constants $K_1$ and $K_2$ are joined end to end. The resultant force constant $K$ of the system is

$A$ block of mass $2 \ kg$ is attached to one end of a massless spring whose other end is fixed at a wall. The spring-mass system moves on a frictionless horizontal table. The spring's natural length is $2 \ m$ and the spring constant is $200 \ N/m$. The block is pushed such that the length of the spring becomes $1 \ m$ and then released. At a distance $x \ m \ (x < 2)$ from the wall,the speed of the block will be:

When a body of mass $1.0 \,kg$ is suspended from a certain light spring hanging vertically, its length increases by $5 \,cm$. By suspending a $2.0 \,kg$ block to the spring and if the block is pulled through $10 \,cm$ and released, the maximum velocity in $m/s$ is: (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,m/s^2$)
