What is the condition for a body suspended at the end of a spring to undergo simple harmonic oscillation?

  • A
    The spring must be massless and obey Hooke's Law.
  • B
    The oscillation must occur in the absence of any resistive forces like friction or air drag.
  • C
    The amplitude of oscillation must be small.
  • D
    All of the above.

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

$A$ 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:

$A$ mass $M$ is suspended from a spring of negligible mass. The spring is pulled a little and then released so that the mass executes $S.H.M.$ of time period $T$. If the mass is increased by $m$,the time period becomes $5T/3$. Then the ratio of $m/M$ is

$A$ body of mass $M$ and charge $q$ is connected to a spring of spring constant $k$. It is oscillating along the $x-$ direction about its equilibrium position,taken to be at $x = 0$,with an amplitude $A$. An electric field $E$ is applied along the $x-$ direction.
