$A$ mass on a vertical spring begins its motion at rest at $y = 0 \ cm$. It reaches a maximum height of $y = 10 \ cm$. The two forces acting on the mass are gravity and the spring force. The graph of its kinetic energy $(KE)$ versus position is given below. Net force on the mass varies with $y$ as

  • A
    $F = 4y - 20$
  • B
    $F = 20 - 4y$
  • C
    $F = \frac{8}{25}(y - 5)$
  • D
    $F = \frac{8}{25}(5 - y)$

$A$ force of $6.4 \, N$ stretches a vertical spring by $0.1 \, m$. The mass that must be suspended from the spring so that it oscillates with a period of $\left( \frac{\pi}{4} \right) \, s$ is ... $kg$.

$A$ mass $m = 1.0\,kg$ is placed on a flat pan attached to a vertical spring fixed on the ground. The mass of the spring and the pan is negligible. When pressed slightly and released,the mass executes simple harmonic motion. The spring constant is $k = 500\,N/m$. What is the amplitude $A$ of the motion,so that the mass $m$ tends to get detached from the pan? (Take $g = 10\,m/s^2$).

As shown in the figure,$S_1$ and $S_2$ are identical springs with spring constant $K$ each. The oscillation frequency of the mass $m$ is $f$. If the spring $S_2$ is removed,the oscillation frequency will become

Frequency of a particle performing $S.H.M.$ is $10 \ Hz$. The particle is suspended from a vertical spring. At the highest point of its oscillation,the spring is unstretched. The maximum speed of the particle is $(g = 10 \ m/s^2)$.
