$A$ spring has a certain mass suspended from it and its period of vertical oscillations is $T_1$. The spring is now cut into two equal halves and the same mass is suspended from one of the halves. The period of vertical oscillations is now $T_2$. The ratio of $T_2 / T_1$ is

  • A
    $1: 2$
  • B
    $1: \sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2}: 1$
  • D
    $2: 1$

$A$ small mass $m$ is suspended at the end of a wire having negligible mass,length $L$,and cross-sectional area $A$. The frequency of oscillation for the $S.H.M.$ along the vertical line is ($Y =$ Young's modulus of the wire).

Write the expression for the restoring force produced in a spring when a body attached to its end is pulled down by a small displacement $x$.

$A$ body of mass $1 \ kg$ is suspended from a spring of force constant $600 \ N \ m^{-1}$. Another body of mass $0.5 \ kg$ moving vertically upwards hits the suspended body with a velocity of $3 \ m \ s^{-1}$ and gets embedded in it. The amplitude of motion is (in $cm$)
