In an oscillating spring-mass system,a spring is connected to a box filled with sand. As the box oscillates,sand leaks slowly out of the box vertically so that the average frequency $\omega(t)$ and average amplitude $A(t)$ of the system change with time $t$. Which one of the following options schematically depicts these changes correctly?

  • A
    Option A
  • B
    Option B
  • C

In figure $(A)$,mass '$2m$' is fixed on mass '$m$' which is attached to two springs of spring constant $k$. In figure $(B)$,mass '$m$' is attached to two springs of spring constant '$k$' and '$2k$'. If mass '$m$' in $(A)$ and $(B)$ are displaced by distance '$x$' horizontally and then released,then the time periods $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ corresponding to $(A)$ and $(B)$ respectively follow the relation.

$A$ 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.]

On a smooth inclined plane,a block of mass $M$ is fixed to two rigid supports using two springs,as shown in the figure. If each spring has spring constant $k$,then the period of oscillation of the block is (Neglect the masses of the springs)
