For a simple harmonic motion in a mass-spring system shown,the surface is frictionless. When the mass of the block is $1\,kg$,the angular frequency is $\omega_1$. When the mass of the block is $2\,kg$,the angular frequency is $\omega_2$. The ratio $\omega_2 / \omega_1$ is

  • A
    $\sqrt{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}$

$A$ block with mass $M$ is connected by a massless spring with stiffness constant $k$ to a rigid wall and moves without friction on a horizontal surface. The block oscillates with small amplitude $A$ about an equilibrium position $x_0$. Consider two cases: $(i)$ when the block is at $x_0$; and $(ii)$ when the block is at $x = x_0 + A$. In both cases, a particle with mass $m$ is placed on the mass $M$. Which of the following statements are correct?

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:

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is attached to three identical springs $A, B$ and $C$ each of force constant $k$ as shown in the figure. If the particle of mass $m$ is pushed slightly against the spring $A$ and released,then the time period of oscillations is

$A$ spring with a spring constant $1200 \; N m^{-1}$ is mounted on a horizontal table as shown in the figure. $A$ mass of $3 \; kg$ is attached to the free end of the spring. The mass is then pulled sideways to a distance of $2.0 \; cm$ and released. Determine:
$(i)$ the frequency of oscillations,
$(ii)$ maximum acceleration of the mass,and
$(iii)$ the maximum speed of the mass.

Inside a lift, a spring (force constant $k = 1000 \ N/m$) and a block $(mass = 1 \ kg)$ are both in a state of rest. Now, the lift suddenly starts moving upwards with an acceleration $a = g$. Find the maximum total compression in the spring in centimeters. $(g = 10 \ m/s^2)$
