The potential energy of a particle of mass $0.1\,kg,$ moving along the $x-$axis,is given by $U = 5x(x-4)\,J,$ where $x$ is in metres. It can be concluded that

Two blocks of masses $m$ and $M$ $(M > m)$ are placed on a frictionless table as shown in the figure. $A$ massless spring with spring constant $k$ is attached to the lower block. If the system is slightly displaced and released,then ($\mu =$ coefficient of friction between the two blocks):
$(A)$ The time period of small oscillation of the two blocks is $T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M + m}{k}}$
$(B)$ The acceleration of the blocks is $a = \frac{kx}{M + m}$ ($x =$ displacement of the blocks from the mean position)
$(C)$ The magnitude of the frictional force on the upper block is $f = \frac{mkx}{M + m}$
$(D)$ The maximum amplitude of the upper block,if it does not slip,is $A = \frac{\mu mg(M + m)}{mk} = \frac{\mu g(M + m)}{k}$ (Wait,let's re-evaluate: $f_{max} = \mu mg$. Since $f = ma = m \cdot \frac{kx}{M+m}$,at max amplitude $A$,$m \cdot \frac{kA}{M+m} = \mu mg \implies A = \frac{\mu g(M+m)}{k}$)
$(E)$ Maximum frictional force can be $\mu mg$.

$A$ 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:

$A$ 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

$A$ spring of length $l$ and force constant $k$ is attached to a mass $m$ and oscillates with frequency $f_1$. If the spring is cut into two equal parts and one part is attached to the same mass $m$ to oscillate,its frequency becomes $f_2$. Find the relation between $f_1$ and $f_2$.
