A block whose mass is $1 \;kg$ is fastened to a spring. The spring has a spring constant of $50\; N m ^{-1}$. The block is pulled to a distance $x=10\; cm$ from its equilibrlum position at $x=0$ on a frictionless surface from rest at $t=0 .$ Calculate the kinetic, potentlal and total energles of the block when it is $5 \;cm$ away from the mean position.

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

A uniform stick of mass $M$ and length $L$ is pivoted at its centre. Its ends are tied to two springs each of force constant $K$ . In the position shown in figure, the strings are in their natural length. When the stick is displaced through a small angle $\theta $ and released. The stick

A spring whose unstretched length is $\ell $ has a force constant $k$. The spring is cut into two pieces of unstretched lengths $\ell_1$ and $\ell_2$ where, $\ell_1 = n\ell_2$ and $n$ is an integer. The ratio $k_1/k_2$ of the corresponding force constants, $k_1$ and $k_2$ will be

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
