The drawing shows a top view of a frictionless horizontal surface,where there are two identical springs with particles of mass $m_1$ and $m_2$ attached to them. Each spring has a spring constant of $1200 \ N/m$. The particles are pulled to the right and then released from the positions shown in the drawing. How much time passes before the particles are again side by side for the first time if $m_1 = 3.0 \ kg$ and $m_2 = 27 \ kg$?

  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{40} \ s$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi}{20} \ s$
  • C
    $\frac{3\pi}{40} \ s$
  • D
    $\frac{\pi}{10} \ s$

$A$ body of mass $4 \ kg$ attached to a spring of force constant $64 \ N \ m^{-1}$ executes simple harmonic motion on a frictionless horizontal surface. The time period of oscillation is

Show that the oscillations due to a spring are simple harmonic oscillations and obtain the expression for the period of oscillation.

The potential energy of a particle of mass $0.1\,kg,$ moving along the $x-$axis,is given by $U = 5x(x-4)\,J,$ where $x$ is in metres. It can be concluded that

$A$ body of mass $5\; kg$ hangs from a spring and oscillates with a time period of $2\pi\; s$. If the body is removed,the length of the spring will decrease by:

$A$ mass $M$ is suspended from a spring of negligible mass. The spring is pulled a little and then released so that the mass executes simple harmonic oscillations with a time period $T$. If the mass is increased by $m$,then the time period becomes $\frac{5}{4}T$. The ratio of $\frac{m}{M}$ is
