$A$ mass $m_1$ performs $S.H.M.$ with amplitude $A$ while connected to a horizontal spring. While mass $m_1$ is passing through the mean position, another mass $m_2$ $(m_2 < m_1)$ is placed on it so that both masses move together with amplitude $A_1$. The ratio of $A/A_1$ is

  • A
    $[\frac{m_1 + m_2}{m_1}]^{1/2}$
  • B
    $[\frac{m_1}{m_1 + m_2}]^{1/2}$
  • C
    $\frac{m_1}{m_1 + m_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{m_2}{m_1 + m_2}$

$A$ small mass $m$, attached to one end of a spring with a negligible mass and an unstretched length $L$, executes vertical oscillations with angular frequency $\omega_{0}$. When the mass is rotated with an angular speed $\omega$ by holding the other end of the spring at a fixed point, the mass moves uniformly in a circular path in a horizontal plane. Then the increase in length of the spring during the rotation is

$A$ solid cylinder of mass $m$ and volume $V$ is suspended from the ceiling by a spring of spring constant $k$. It has a cross-sectional area $A$. It is submerged in a liquid of density $\rho$ up to half its length. If a small block of mass $M_0$ is kept at the center of the top, the amplitude of small oscillation will be:
