In an oscillating spring-mass system,a spring is connected to a box filled with sand. As the box oscillates,sand leaks slowly out of the box vertically so that the average frequency $\omega(t)$ and average amplitude $A(t)$ of the system change with time $t$. Which one of the following options schematically depicts these changes correctly?

  • A
    Option A
  • B
    Option B
  • C

As shown in the figure, a spring with spring constant $k = 150 \ N/m$ is kept in a stretched position by holding two masses of $1 \ kg$ and $200 \ g$ at a separation greater than the natural length of the spring. When the masses are released, assuming the horizontal surface to be frictionless, the angular frequency (in $SI$ units) of the system is:

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is attached to four springs with spring constants $k, k, 2k$ and $2k$ as shown in the figure. Four springs are attached to the four corners of a square and a particle is placed at the center. If the particle is pushed slightly towards any side of the square and released, the period of oscillation will be

Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are suspended together by a massless spring of constant $K$. When the masses are in equilibrium,$m_1$ is removed without disturbing the system. The amplitude of oscillations is

Three blocks of masses $700 \,g$,$500 \,g$,and $400 \,g$ are suspended at the end of a spring as shown in the figure and are in equilibrium. When the $700 \,g$ block is removed,the system has a period of oscillation of $3 \,s$. If both $700 \,g$ and $500 \,g$ blocks are removed,the period of oscillation becomes

$A$ $3 \ kg$ block is connected as shown in the figure. The spring constants of the two springs $K_1$ and $K_2$ are $50 \ Nm^{-1}$ and $150 \ Nm^{-1}$ respectively. The block is released from rest with the springs unstretched. The acceleration of the block in its lowest position is $(g=10 \ ms^{-2})$. (in $ms^{-2}$)
