A spring has a certain mass suspended from it and its period for vertical oscillation is $T$. The spring is now cut into two equal halves and the same mass is suspended from one of the halves. The period of vertical oscillation is now
$\frac{T}{2}$
$\frac{T}{\sqrt{2}}$
$\sqrt{2}T$
$2T$
The effective spring constant of two spring system as shown in figure will be
When a mass $m$ is attached to a spring it oscillates with period $4 \,s$. When an additional mass of $2 \,kg$ is attached to a spring, time period increases by $1 \,s$. The value of $m$ is ........... $kg$
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
A body executes simple harmonic motion under the action of a force $F_1$ with a time period $(4/5)\, sec$. If the force is changed to $F_2$ it executes $SHM$ with time period $(3/5)\, sec$. If both the forces $F_1$ and $F_2$ act simultaneously in the same direction on the body, its time period (in $seconds$ ) is
