$A$ mass on a spring oscillates up and down. As the mass moves downward from its highest point to its equilibrium point:

  • A
    The net force is downward,the net work done on the mass is positive and the mass speeds up.
  • B
    The net force is upward,the net work done on the mass is negative and the mass slows down.
  • C
    The net force is downward,the net work done on the mass is positive and the mass speeds up.
  • D
    The net force is upward,the net work done on the mass is negative and the mass speeds up.

Show that the oscillations due to a spring are simple harmonic oscillations and obtain the expression for the period of oscillation.

$A$ mass $0.9 \, kg$,attached to a horizontal spring,executes $SHM$ with an amplitude $A_{1}$. When this mass passes through its mean position,a smaller mass of $124 \, g$ is placed over it and both masses move together with amplitude $A_{2}$. If the ratio $\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}$ is $\frac{\alpha}{\alpha-1}$,then the value of $\alpha$ will be $......$
