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

  • A
    $\frac{1}{6}\pi \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$
  • C
    $\frac{2\pi}{3}\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$
  • D
    $\frac{\pi}{4}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

$A$ block of mass $1 \; kg$ is fastened to a spring with a spring constant of $50 \; N m^{-1}$. The block is pulled to a distance $x = 10 \; cm$ from its equilibrium position at $x = 0$ on a frictionless surface and released from rest at $t = 0$. Calculate the kinetic,potential,and total energies of the block when it is $5 \; cm$ away from the mean position.

$A$ 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:

$A$ spring is stretched by $0.2 \ m$ when a mass of $0.5 \ kg$ is suspended to it. The time period of the spring when the $0.5 \ kg$ mass is replaced with a mass of $0.25 \ kg$ is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $s$)

In the given figure,a body of mass $M$ is held between two massless springs on a smooth inclined plane. The free ends of the springs are attached to firm supports. If each spring has a spring constant $k,$ the frequency of oscillation of the given body is:
