Three mass and string system is in equilibrium. When $700\,gm$ mass is removed, then the system oscillates with a period of $3\,seconds$ . When the $500\,gm$ mass is also removed, then what will be new time period for system ..... $\sec$

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. Determine

$(i)$ the frequency of oscillations,

$(ii)$ maximum acceleration of the mass, and

$(iii)$ the maximum speed of the mass.

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

($B$) The final time period of oscillation in both the cases is same

($C$) The total energy decreases in both the cases

($D$) The instantaneous speed at $x_0$ of the combined masses decreases in both the cases

Which type of spring have fast oscillation ? Stiff or soft.

A mass m is suspended from a spring of length l and force constant $K$. The frequency of vibration of the mass is ${f_1}$. The spring is cut into two equal parts and the same mass is suspended from one of the parts. The new frequency of vibration of mass is ${f_2}$. Which of the following relations between the frequencies is correct

A uniform spring of force constant $k$ is cut into two pieces, the lengths of which are in the ratio $1 : 2$. The ratio of the force constants of the shorter and the longer pieces is
