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

How the period of oscillation depend on the mass of block attached to the end of spring ?

A block of mass $m$ is suspended separately by two different springs have time period $t_1$ and $t_2$ . If same mass is connected to parallel combination of both springs, then its time period will be

A mass of $2.0\, kg$ is put on a flat pan attached to a vertical spring fixed on the ground as shown in the figure. The mass of the spring and the pan is negligible.  When pressed slightly and released the mass executes a simple harmonic motion. The spring constant is $200\, N/m.$ What should be the minimum amplitude of the motion so that the mass gets detached from the pan (take $g = 10 m/s^2$).

If a vertical mass spring system is taken to the moon, will its time period after ?

A mass $M$ is suspended from a spring of negligible mass. The spring is pulled a little and then released so that the mass executes $S.H.M.$ of time period $T$. If the mass is increased by m, the time period becomes $5T/3$. Then the ratio of $m/M$ is
