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:

  • A
    $6$
  • B
    $7$
  • C
    $8$
  • D
    $9$

$A$ $5\, kg$ collar is attached to a spring of spring constant $500\, N/m$. It slides without friction over a horizontal rod. The collar is displaced from its equilibrium position by $10\, cm$ and released. The time period of oscillation is

$A$ uniform cylinder of length $L$ and mass $M$ having cross-sectional area $A$ is suspended,with its length vertical,from a fixed point by a massless spring,such that it is half submerged in a liquid of density $\sigma$ at equilibrium position. When the cylinder is given a downward push and released,it starts oscillating vertically with a small amplitude. The time period $T$ of the oscillations of the cylinder will be

Two bodies of masses $1\, kg$ and $4\, kg$ are connected to a vertical spring,as shown in the figure. The smaller mass executes simple harmonic motion of angular frequency $25\, rad/s$,and amplitude $1.6\, cm$ while the bigger mass remains stationary on the ground. The maximum force exerted by the system on the floor is ..... $N$ (take $g = 10\, m/s^2$).

One end of a spring of force constant $k$ is fixed to a vertical wall and the other to a block of mass $m$ resting on a smooth horizontal surface. There is another wall at a distance $x_0$ from the block. The spring is then compressed by $2x_0$ and released. The time taken to strike the wall is
