The center of a disk of radius $r$ and mass $m$ is attached to a spring of spring constant $k$,inside a ring of radius $R > r$ as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring,without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring,following Hooke's law. In equilibrium,the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc,the time period of oscillation of the center of mass of the disk is written as $T = \frac{2 \pi}{\omega}$. The correct expression for $\omega$ is ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity):

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}\left(\frac{g}{R-r}+\frac{k}{m}\right)}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{2 g}{3(R-r)}+\frac{k}{m}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{1}{6}\left(\frac{g}{R-r}+\frac{k}{m}\right)}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}\left(\frac{g}{R-r}+\frac{k}{m}\right)}$

$A$ small block is connected to one end of a massless spring of un-stretched length $4.9 \ m$. The other end of the spring is fixed at $O$. The system lies on a horizontal frictionless surface. The block is stretched by $0.2 \ m$ and released from rest at $t = 0$. It then executes simple harmonic motion with angular frequency $\omega = \frac{\pi}{3} \ rad/s$. Simultaneously at $t = 0$,a small pebble is projected with speed $v$ from point $P$ at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ as shown in the figure. Point $P$ is at a horizontal distance of $10 \ m$ from $O$. If the pebble hits the block at $t = 1 \ s$,the value of $v$ is (take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$):

Two identical balls $A$ and $B$,each of mass $0.1 \ kg$,are attached to two identical massless springs. The spring-mass system is constrained to move inside a rigid smooth pipe bent in the form of a circle as shown in the figure. The pipe is fixed in a horizontal plane. The centers of the balls can move in a circle of radius $0.06 \ m$. Each spring has a natural length of $0.06\pi \ m$ and a force constant of $0.1 \ N/m$. Initially,both balls are displaced by an angle $\theta = \pi/6$ radian with respect to the diameter $PQ$ of the circle and released from rest. The frequency of oscillation of the ball $B$ is:
