A mass $M$, attached to a horizontal spring, executes S.H.M. with amplitude $A_1$. When the mass $M$ passes through its mean position then a smaller mass $m$ is placed over it and both of them move together with amplitude $A_2$. The ratio of $\frac{{{A_1}}}{{{A_2}}}$ is

Let $T_1$ and $T_2$ be the time periods of two springs $A$ and $B$ when a mass $m$ is suspended from them separately. Now both the springs are connected in parallel  and same mass $m$ is suspended with them. Now let $T$ be the time period in this position. Then

The motion of a mass on a spring, with spring constant ${K}$ is as shown in figure. The equation of motion is given by $x(t)= A sin \omega t+ Bcos\omega t$ with $\omega=\sqrt{\frac{K}{m}}$ Suppose that at time $t=0$, the position of mass is $x(0)$ and velocity $v(0)$, then its displacement can also be represented as $x(t)=C \cos (\omega t-\phi)$, where $C$ and $\phi$ are

Identify correct statement among the following

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
