A weightless spring which has a force constant oscillates with frequency $n$ when a mass $m$ is suspended from it. The spring is cut into two equal halves and a mass $2m $ is suspended from it. The frequency of oscillation will now become

A block with mass $M$ is connected by a massless spring with stiffiess constant $k$ to a rigid wall and moves without friction on a horizontal surface. The block oscillates with small amplitude $A$ about an equilibrium position $x_0$. Consider two cases: ($i$) when the block is at $x_0$; and ($ii$) when the block is at $x=x_0+A$. In both the cases, a perticle with mass $m$ is placed on the mass $M$ ?

$A$ 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.
