Two springs of spring constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ are connected to a mass $m$ as shown in the figure. Under negligible friction, if the mass is displaced by a small amount $x$ from its equilibrium position and released, the period of oscillation is

  • A
    $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m(k_1+k_2)}{k_1 k_2}}$
  • B
    $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k_1+k_2}}$
  • C
    $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m k_1 k_2}{(k_1+k_2)}}$
  • D
    $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m(k_1-k_2)}{k_1 k_2}}$

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:

$A$ body of mass $m$ is attached to the lower end of a spring whose upper end is fixed. The mass of the spring is negligible. When the mass $m$ is pulled down slightly and released,it oscillates with a time period of $3 \ s$. When the mass $m$ is increased by $1 \ kg$,the time period of oscillation becomes $5 \ s$. What is the value of $m$ in $kg$?

Find the maximum amplitude (in $cm$) of the $SHM$ such that block $A$ will not slip on block $B$. Given: spring constant $K = 100 \ N/m$,mass of block $A$ $m_A = 0.25 \ kg$,mass of block $B$ $m_B = 1.25 \ kg$,and coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $\mu = 0.4$. Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$.

As shown in the figure,$S_1$ and $S_2$ are identical springs with spring constant $K$ each. The oscillation frequency of the mass $m$ is $f$. If the spring $S_2$ is removed,the oscillation frequency will become
