$A$ block $P$ of mass $m$ is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. $A$ block $Q$ of same mass is placed over the block $P$ and the coefficient of static friction between them is $\mu_S$. $A$ spring of spring constant $K$ is attached to block $Q$. The blocks are displaced together to a distance $A$ and released. The upper block oscillates without slipping over the lower block. The maximum frictional force between the blocks is

$A$ $5\; kg$ collar is attached to a spring of spring constant $500\; N m^{-1}$. It slides without friction over a horizontal rod. The collar is displaced from its equilibrium position by $10.0\; cm$ and released. Calculate
$(a)$ the period of oscillation.
$(b)$ the maximum speed and
$(c)$ maximum acceleration of the collar.

$A$ mass $m$ is suspended from a spring of negligible mass. The spring is pulled a little and then released,so that the mass executes $S.H.M.$ with a time period $T$. If the mass is increased by $m_0$,the time period becomes $\frac{5T}{4}$. The ratio $\frac{m_0}{m}$ is

$A$ mass of $2 \, kg$ is attached to a spring with a spring constant of $50 \, N/m$. The block is pulled to a distance of $5 \, cm$ from its equilibrium position at $x = 0$ on a horizontal frictionless surface and released from rest at $t = 0$. Write the expression for its displacement at any time $t$.

The period of oscillation of a mass $M$ suspended from a spring of negligible mass is $T$. If along with it another mass $M$ is also suspended,the period of oscillation will now be
