If two similar springs each of spring constant $K$ are joined in series,the new spring constant and time period would be changed by a factor of:

  • A
    $1/2, \sqrt{2}$
  • B
    $1/4, \sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $1/4, 2\sqrt{2}$
  • D
    $1/2, 2\sqrt{2}$

$A$ weightless spring which has a force constant $k$ oscillates with frequency $n$ when a mass $m$ is suspended from it. The spring is cut into two equal halves and a mass $2m$ is suspended from one of the halves. The frequency of oscillation will now become:

$A$ body of mass $m$ is attached to the lower end of a spring whose upper end is fixed. The mass of the spring is negligible. When the mass $m$ is pulled down slightly and released,it oscillates with a time period of $3 \ s$. When the mass $m$ is increased by $1 \ kg$,the time period of oscillation becomes $5 \ s$. What is the value of $m$ in $kg$?

An object is attached to the bottom of a light vertical spring and set vibrating. The maximum speed of the object is $15 \,cm/s$ and the period is $628 \,ms$. The amplitude of the motion in $cm$ is:

$A$ spring-mass system is oscillating horizontally. What will be the effect on the time period if the spring is made to oscillate vertically?

Two springs of spring constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ are connected to a mass $m$ as shown in the figure. Under negligible friction, if the mass is displaced by a small amount $x$ from its equilibrium position and released, the period of oscillation is
