$A$ $5\, kg$ collar is attached to a spring of spring constant $500\, N/m$. It slides without friction over a horizontal rod. The collar is displaced from its equilibrium position by $10\, cm$ and released. The time period of oscillation is

$A$ mass $M$ attached to a horizontal spring executes simple harmonic motion with amplitude $A_1$. When mass $M$ passes the mean position,a smaller mass $m$ is attached to it,and both of them together execute simple harmonic motion with amplitude $A_2$. Then the value of $\frac{A_1}{A_2}$ is

Two masses $m_1 = 1 \, kg$ and $m_2 = 0.5 \, kg$ are suspended together by a massless spring of spring constant $k = 12.5 \, N/m$. When the masses are in equilibrium,$m_1$ is removed without disturbing the system. The new amplitude of oscillation will be .......... $cm$.

$A$ highly rigid cubical block $A$ of small mass $M$ and side $L$ is fixed rigidly onto another cubical block $B$ of the same dimensions and of low modulus of rigidity $\eta$ such that the lower face of $A$ completely covers the upper face of $B$. The lower face of $B$ is rigidly held on a horizontal surface. $A$ small force $F$ is applied perpendicular to one of the side faces of $A$. After the force is withdrawn,block $A$ executes small oscillations. The time period of which is given by:

Two identical point masses $P$ and $Q$,suspended from two separate massless springs of spring constants $k_1$ and $k_2$,respectively,oscillate vertically. If their maximum speeds are the same,the ratio $(A_Q / A_P)$ of the amplitude $A_Q$ of mass $Q$ to the amplitude $A_P$ of mass $P$ is

The graph shown was obtained from experimental measurements of the period of oscillations $T$ for different masses $M$ placed in the scale pan on the lower end of the spring balance. The most likely reason for the line not passing through the origin is that the
