A uniform cylinder of length $L$ and mass $M$ having cross-sectional area $A$ is suspended, with its length vertical, from a fixed point by a massless spring, such that it is half submerged in a liquid of density $\sigma $ at equilibrium position. When the cylinder is given a downward push and released, it starts oscillating vertically with a small amplitude. The time period $T$ of the oscillations of the cylinder will be
Smaller than $2\pi {\left[ {\frac{M}{{\left( {k + A\sigma g} \right)}}} \right]^{1/2}}$
$2\pi \sqrt {\frac{M}{k}} $
Larger than $2\pi {\left[ {\frac{M}{{\left( {k + A\sigma g} \right)}}} \right]^{1/2}}$
$2\pi {\left[ {\frac{M}{{\left( {k + A\sigma g} \right)}}} \right]^{1/2}}$
For the damped oscillator shown in Figure the mass mof the block is $200\; g , k=90 \;N m ^{-1}$ and the damping constant $b$ is $40 \;g s ^{-1} .$ Calculate

The period of oscillation of a mass $M$ suspended from a spring of negligible mass is $T$. If along with it another mass $M$ is also suspended, the period of oscillation will now be
Infinite springs with force constant $k$, $2k$, $4k$ and $8k$.... respectively are connected in series. The effective force constant of the spring will be
Two springs, of force constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ are connected to a mass $m$ as shown. The frequency of oscillation of the mass is $f$ If both $k_1$ and $k_2$ are made four times their original values, the frequency of oscillation becomes
A mass $m$ is suspended by means of two coiled spring which have the same length in unstretched condition as in figure. Their force constant are $k_1$ and $k_2$ respectively. When set into vertical vibrations, the period will be
