$A$ block of mass $M_1$ is hanged by a light spring of force constant $k$ to the top bar of a reverse Uframe of mass $M_2$ on the floor. The block is pooled down from its equilibrium position by $a$ distance $x$ and then released. Find the minimum value of $x$ such that the reverse $U$ -frame will leave the floor momentarily.

  • A

    $x = (M_1 + M_2)g/k$

  • B

    $x = (2M_1 + M_2)g/k$

  • C

    $x = (M_1 + 2M_2)g/k$

  • D

    $x = M_1g/k$

In the figure shown, there is friction between the blocks $P$ and $Q$ but the contact between the block $Q$ and lower surface is frictionless. Initially the block $Q$ with block $P$ over it lies at $x=0$, with spring at its natural length. The block $Q$ is pulled to right and then released. As the spring - blocks system undergoes $S.H.M.$ with amplitude $A$, the block $P$ tends to slip over $Q . P$ is more likely to slip at

The frequency of oscillation of a mass $m$ suspended by a spring is $v_1$. If length of spring is cut to one third then the same mass oscillates with frequency $v_2$, then
