Two identical springs are connected to a mass $m$ as shown in the figure ($k$ = spring constant). If the time period of the configuration in $(a)$ is $2 \,s$, what is the time period of the configuration in $(b)$?

  • A
    $\sqrt{2} \,s$
  • B
    $1 \,s$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \,s$
  • D
    $2 \sqrt{2} \,s$

The frequency of oscillation of a mass $m$ suspended by a spring is $v_1$. If the length of the spring is cut to one-third,then the same mass oscillates with frequency $v_2$. Then:

$A$ spring is stretched by $0.40 \ m$ when a mass of $0.6 \ kg$ is suspended from it. The period of oscillations of the spring loaded by $255 \ g$ and put to oscillations is close to $(g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2})$. (in $s$)

Two springs of force constants $300 \, N/m$ (Spring $A$) and $400 \, N/m$ (Spring $B$) are joined together in series. The combination is compressed by $8.75 \, cm$. The ratio of energy stored in $A$ and $B$ is $E_A / E_B$. Then $E_A / E_B$ is equal to:

$A$ tray of mass $12 \,kg$ is supported by two identical springs as shown in the figure. When the tray is pressed down slightly and then released, it executes $SHM$ with a time period of $1.5 \,s$. The spring constant of each spring is

$A$ block of mass $2 \ kg$ is attached to one end of a massless spring whose other end is fixed at a wall. The spring-mass system moves on a frictionless horizontal table. The spring's natural length is $2 \ m$ and the spring constant is $200 \ N/m$. The block is pushed such that the length of the spring becomes $1 \ m$ and then released. At a distance $x \ m \ (x < 2)$ from the wall,the speed of the block will be:
