The frequency of oscillation of a mass suspended by a spring

$v=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

$\therefore v \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{m}}$

$\therefore \quad\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}=\sqrt{\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{m_{1}}{m_{1}}}=\sqrt{4}=2$

$\therefore \quad v_{2}=2 v\left[\because v_{1}=v\right]$

A block with mass $M$ is connected by a massless spring with stiffiess constant $k$ to a rigid wall and moves without friction on a horizontal surface. The block oscillates with small amplitude $A$ about an equilibrium position $x_0$. Consider two cases: ($i$) when the block is at $x_0$; and ($ii$) when the block is at $x=x_0+A$. In both the cases, a perticle with mass $m$ is placed on the mass $M$ ?

($A$) The amplitude of oscillation in the first case changes by a factor of $\sqrt{\frac{M}{m+M}}$, whereas in the second case it remains unchanged

Two identical balls A and B each of mass 0.1 kg are attached to two identical massless springs. The spring mass system is constrained to move inside a rigid smooth pipe bent in the form of a circle as shown in the figure. The pipe is fixed in a horizontal plane. The centres of the balls can move in a circle of radius 0.06 m. Each spring has a natural length of 0.06$\pi$ m and force constant 0.1N/m. Initially both the balls are displaced by an angle $\theta = \pi /6$ radian with respect to the diameter $PQ$ of the circle and released from rest. The frequency of oscillation of the ball B is

An assembly of identical spring-mass systems is placed on a smooth horizontal surface as shown. At this instant, the springs are relaxed. The left mass is displaced to the/left and theiright mass is displaced to the right by same distance and released. The resulting collision is elastic. The time period of the oscillations of system is
