On a frictionless horizontal plane,a bob of mass $m=0.1 \text{ kg}$ is attached to a spring with natural length $l_0=0.1 \text{ m}$. The spring constant is $k_1=0.009 \text{ N/m}$ when the length of the spring $l > l_0$ and is $k_2=0.016 \text{ N/m}$ when $l < l_0$. Initially,the bob is released from $l=0.15 \text{ m}$. Assume that Hooke's law remains valid throughout the motion. If the time period of the full oscillation is $T=(n \pi) \text{ s}$,then the integer closest to $n$ is:
- A$6$
- B$7$
- C$8$
- D$9$

One end of a spring of force constant $k$ is fixed to a vertical wall and the other to a block of mass $m$ resting on a smooth horizontal surface. There is another wall at a distance $x_0$ from the block. The spring is then compressed by $2x_0$ and released. The time taken to strike the wall is

View Solution$A$ mass attached to a spring is free to oscillate,with angular velocity $\omega$,in a horizontal plane without friction or damping. It is pulled to a distance $x_{0}$ and pushed towards the centre with a velocity $v_{0}$ at time $t=0$. Determine the amplitude of the resulting oscillations in terms of the parameters $\omega, x_{0}$ and $v_{0}$. [Hint: Start with the equation $x=A \cos (\omega t+\theta)$ and note that the initial velocity is negative.]

View SolutionIf 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:
$A$ simple harmonic oscillator consists of a particle of mass $m$ and an ideal spring with spring constant $k$. The particle oscillates with a time period $T$. The spring is cut into two equal parts. If one part oscillates with the same particle, the new time period will be
