Two masses ${m_1}$ and ${m_2}$ are suspended together by a massless spring of constant k. When the masses are in equilibrium, ${m_1}$ is removed without disturbing the system. Then the angular frequency of oscillation of ${m_2}$ is

A spring having with a spring constant $1200\; N m ^{-1}$ is mounted on a hortzontal table as shown in Figure A mass of $3 \;kg$ is attached to the free end of the spring. The mass is then pulled sideways to a distance of $2.0 \;cm$ and released 

let us take the position of mass when the spring is unstreched as $x=0,$ and the direction from left to right as the positive direction of $x$ -axis. Give $x$ as a function of time $t$ for the oscillating mass if at the moment we start the stopwatch $(t=0),$ the mass is

A spring with $10$ coils has spring constant $k$. It is exactly cut into two halves, then each of these new springs will have a spring constant

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
