A mass $m$ is attached to two springs of same force constant $K$, as shown in following four arrangements. If $T_1, T_2, T_3$ and $T_4$ respectively be the time periods of oscillation in the following arrangements, in which case time period is maximum?

Three masses $700g, 500g$ and $400g$ are suspended at the end of a spring a shown  and are in equilibrium. When the $700g$ mass is removed, the system oscillates with a  period of $3\,seconds$, when the $500g$ mass is also removed, it will oscillate with a period of .... $s$

Two bodies of masses $1\, kg$ and $4\, kg$ are connected to a vertical spring, as shown in the figure. The smaller mass executes simple harmonic motion of angular frequency $25\, rad/s$, and amplitude $1.6\, cm$ while the bigger mass remains stationary on the ground. The maximum force exerted by the system on the floor is ..... $N$ ( take $g = 10\, ms^{-2}$)

If a spring extends by $x$ on loading, then energy stored by the spring is (if $T$ is the tension in the spring and $K$ is the spring constant)

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

$(a)$ at the mean position,

$(b)$ at the maximum stretched position, and

$(c)$ at the maximum compressed position. In what way do these functions for $SHM$ differ from each other, in frequency, in amplitude or the inittal phase?
