$A$ heavy brass sphere is hung from a spring and it executes vertical vibrations with period $T$. The sphere is now immersed in a non-viscous liquid with a density $(1/10)^{\text{th}}$ that of brass. When set into vertical vibrations with the sphere remaining inside the liquid all the time,the time period will be

$A$ spring with a spring constant $1200 \; N m^{-1}$ is mounted on a horizontal table as shown in the figure. $A$ mass of $3 \; kg$ is attached to the free end of the spring. The mass is then pulled sideways to a distance of $2.0 \; cm$ and released. Let us take the position of the mass when the spring is unstretched as $x = 0$,and the direction from left to right as the positive direction of the $x$-axis. Give $x$ as a function of time $t$ for the oscillating mass if at the moment we start the stopwatch $(t = 0)$,the mass is:
$(a)$ at the mean position,
$(b)$ at the maximum stretched position,and
$(c)$ at the maximum compressed position.
In what way do these functions for $SHM$ differ from each other: in frequency,in amplitude,or in the initial phase?

Two small bodies of mass $2 \, kg$ each are attached to each other using a thread of length $10 \, cm$,and hang on a spring whose force constant is $200 \, N/m$,as shown in the figure. We burn the thread. What is the distance between the two bodies when the top body first arrives at its highest position? (Take $\pi^2 = 10$)

$A$ block of mass $M_1$ is hung by a light spring of force constant $k$ from the top bar of a reverse $U$-frame of mass $M_2$ resting on the floor. The block is pulled down from its equilibrium position by a distance $x$ and then released. Find the minimum value of $x$ such that the reverse $U$-frame will leave the floor momentarily.

$A$ body of mass $1 \ kg$ is suspended from a spring of force constant $600 \ N \ m^{-1}$. Another body of mass $0.5 \ kg$ moving vertically upwards hits the suspended body with a velocity of $3 \ m \ s^{-1}$ and gets embedded in it. The amplitude of motion is (in $cm$)
