$A$ spring of force constant $k$ is cut into two parts whose lengths are in the ratio $1:2$. The two parts are now connected as shown and a block of mass $m$ is connected to the combined spring. Find the period of oscillation performed by the block.

  • A
    $T = \pi \sqrt{\left(\frac{2 m}{9 k }\right)}$
  • B
    $T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\left(\frac{2 m}{9 k }\right)}$
  • C
    $T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\left(\frac{m}{9 k }\right)}$
  • D
    $T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\left(\frac{2 m}{ k }\right)}$

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

$A$ system consisting of three masses attached to a spring is in equilibrium. When the $700\,g$ mass is removed,the system oscillates with a period of $3\,s$. When the $500\,g$ mass is also removed,what will be the new time period of the system? (in $\text{seconds}$)

Consider two identical springs each of spring constant $k$ and negligible mass compared to the mass $M$ as shown. Fig. $1$ shows one of them and Fig. $2$ shows their series combination. The ratio of the time period of oscillation of the two $SHM$ is $\frac{T_b}{T_a} = \sqrt{x}$,where the value of $x$ is (Round off to the Nearest Integer).
