Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are suspended together by a massless spring of constant $K$. When the masses are in equilibrium,$m_1$ is removed without disturbing the system. The amplitude of oscillations is

  • A
    $\frac{m_1 g}{K}$
  • B
    $\frac{m_2 g}{K}$
  • C
    $\frac{(m_1 + m_2)g}{K}$
  • D
    $\frac{(m_1 - m_2)g}{K}$

Consider two identical springs each of spring constant $k$ and negligible mass compared to the mass $M$ as shown. Fig. $1$ shows one of them and Fig. $2$ shows their series combination. The ratio of the time period of oscillation of the two $SHM$ is $\frac{T_b}{T_a} = \sqrt{x}$,where the value of $x$ is (Round off to the Nearest Integer).

$A$ mass $m$ is attached to two springs of same force constant $K$,as shown in the following four arrangements. If $T_1, T_2, T_3$ and $T_4$ are the time periods of oscillation in the respective arrangements,in which case is the time period maximum?

$A$ mass $m = 1.0\,kg$ is placed on a flat pan attached to a vertical spring fixed on the ground. The mass of the spring and the pan is negligible. When pressed slightly and released,the mass executes simple harmonic motion. The spring constant is $k = 500\,N/m$. What is the amplitude $A$ of the motion,so that the mass $m$ tends to get detached from the pan? (Take $g = 10\,m/s^2$).

Define the torsional constant for a spring.

Two particles $A$ and $B$ of equal masses are suspended from two massless springs of spring constants $K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$ respectively. If the maximum velocities during oscillations are equal,the ratio of the amplitude of $A$ and $B$ is
