The motion of a mass on a spring,with spring constant $K$ is as shown in the figure. The equation of motion is given by $x(t) = A \sin \omega t + B \cos \omega t$ with $\omega = \sqrt{\frac{K}{m}}$. Suppose that at time $t = 0$,the position of the mass is $x(0)$ and velocity is $v(0)$,then its displacement can also be represented as $x(t) = C \cos (\omega t - \phi)$,where $C$ and $\phi$ are:

  • A
    $C = \sqrt{\frac{2 v(0)^2}{\omega^2} + x(0)^2}, \phi = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{x(0) \omega}{2 v(0)} \right)$
  • B
    $C = \sqrt{\frac{v(0)^2}{\omega^2} + x(0)^2}, \phi = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{x(0) \omega}{v(0)} \right)$
  • C
    $C = \sqrt{\frac{2 v(0)^2}{\omega^2} + x(0)^2}, \phi = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{v(0)}{x(0) \omega} \right)$
  • D
    $C = \sqrt{\frac{v(0)^2}{\omega^2} + x(0)^2}, \phi = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{v(0)}{x(0) \omega} \right)$

$A$ mass $m$ is suspended separately by two different springs of spring constant $K_1$ and $K_2$ giving the time periods $t_1$ and $t_2$ respectively. If the same mass $m$ is connected by both springs as shown in the figure,then the time period $t$ is given by the relation:

$A$ light spring is suspended with mass $m_1$ at its lower end and its upper end fixed to a rigid support. The mass is pulled down a short distance and then released. The period of oscillation is $T$ seconds. When a mass $m_2$ is added to $m_1$ and the system is made to oscillate,the period is found to be $\frac{3}{2} T$. The ratio $m_1 : m_2$ 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

$A$ weightless spring of length $60\, cm$ and force constant $200\, N/m$ is kept straight and unstretched on a smooth horizontal table and its ends are rigidly fixed. $A$ mass of $0.25\, kg$ is attached at the middle of the spring and is slightly displaced along the length. The time period of the oscillation of the mass is

$A$ mass $M$ is suspended from a spring of negligible mass. The spring is pulled a little and then released so that the mass executes $S.H.M.$ of time period $T$. If the mass is increased by $m$,the time period becomes $5T/3$. Then the ratio of $m/M$ is
