Find the maximum amplitude for safe $SHM$ (the block does not topple during $SHM$) of a cubical block of side $a$ on a smooth horizontal floor as shown in the figure (the spring is massless). The spring is attached at a height of $2a/3$ from the floor.

$A$ block is resting on a piston which executes simple harmonic motion with a period $2.0 \, s$. The maximum velocity of the piston,at an amplitude just sufficient for the block to separate from the piston,is .......... $m \, s^{-1}$.

$A$ 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).

$A$ spring stretches by $2 \text{ mm}$ when it is loaded with a mass of $200 \text{ g}$. From the equilibrium position, the mass is further pulled down by $2 \text{ mm}$ and released. The frequency associated with the system and the maximum energy in the spring are . . . . . . $\text{Hz}$ and . . . . . . $\text{J}$, respectively. (Take $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$)

In the given figure,a mass $M$ is attached to a horizontal spring which is fixed on one side to a rigid support. The spring constant of the spring is $k$. The mass oscillates on a frictionless surface with time period $T$ and amplitude $A$. When the mass is at its maximum displacement (extreme position),another mass $m$ is gently placed upon it. The new amplitude of oscillation will be

Figure $(a)$ shows a spring of force constant $k$ clamped rigidly at one end and a mass $m$ attached to its free end. $A$ force $F$ applied at the free end stretches the spring. Figure $(b)$ shows the same spring with both ends free and attached to a mass $m$ at either end. Each end of the spring in Figure $(b)$ is stretched by the same force $F$.
$(a)$ What is the maximum extension of the spring in the two cases?
$(b)$ If the mass in Figure $(a)$ and the two masses in Figure $(b)$ are released,what is the period of oscillation in each case?
