A block of mass $m$ attached to massless spring is performing oscillatory motion of amplitude $'A'$ on a frictionless horizontal plane. If half of the mass of the block breaks off when it is passing through its equilibrium point, the amplitude of oscillation for the remaining system become $fA.$ The value of $f$ is

The graph shown was obtained from experimental measurements of the period of oscillations $T$ for different masses $M$ placed in the scale pan on the lower end of the spring balance. The most likely reason for the line not passing through the origin is that the

A mass $m =100\, gms$ is attached at the end of a light spring which oscillates on a frictionless horizontal table with an amplitude equal to $0.16$ metre and time period equal to $2 \,sec$. Initially the mass is released from rest at $t = 0$ and displacement $x = - 0.16$ metre. The expression for the displacement of the mass at any time $t$ is
