$A$ clock is designed based on the oscillations of a spring-block system suspended vertically in the absence of air resistance. Assume it shows the correct time when a spring of stiffness $k$ and a block of mass $m$ are used. If the block is replaced by another block of mass $4m$, choose the correct option.

  • A
    The clock runs slow by $0.5 \text{ s}$ for every one second.
  • B
    The clock runs fast by $0.5 \text{ s}$ for every one second.
  • C
    The clock runs fast by $1 \text{ s}$ for every one second.
  • D
    The clock runs slow by $1 \text{ s}$ for every one second.

$A$ spring is stretched by $0.2 \ m$ when a mass of $0.5 \ kg$ is suspended to it. The time period of the spring when the $0.5 \ kg$ mass is replaced with a mass of $0.25 \ kg$ is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $s$)

When the mass attached to a spring is increased from $4 \ kg$ to $9 \ kg$,the time period of oscillation increases by $0.2 \pi \ s$. Then the spring constant of the spring is (in $N \ m^{-1}$)

$A$ body of mass $100 \ g$ is tied to a spring of spring constant $8 \ N/m$,while the other end of the spring is fixed. If the body moves in a circular path on a smooth horizontal surface with a constant angular speed of $8 \ rad/s$,then the ratio of the extension in the spring to its natural length will be: (in $:1$)

$A$ light spring is suspended with mass $m_1$ at its lower end and its upper end fixed to a rigid support. The mass is pulled down a short distance and then released. The period of oscillation is $T$ seconds. When a mass $m_2$ is added to $m_1$ and the system is made to oscillate,the period is found to be $\frac{3}{2} T$. The ratio $m_1 : m_2$ is
