$A$ light spring is suspended with mass $m_1$ at its lower end and its upper end is 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 $\frac{m_1}{m_2}$ is

  • A
    $4 : 5$
  • B
    $5 : 4$
  • C
    $3 : 4$
  • D
    $4 : 9$

$A$ rectangular block of mass $5\,kg$ attached to a horizontal spiral spring executes simple harmonic motion of amplitude $1\,m$ and time period $3.14\,s$. The maximum force exerted by the spring on the block is $.......N$.

$A$ flat horizontal board moves up and down in $SHM$ with an amplitude $\alpha$. What is the shortest permissible time period of the vibration such that an object placed on the board does not lose contact with the board?

Two blocks of masses $m$ and $M$ $(M > m)$ are placed on a frictionless table as shown in the figure. $A$ massless spring with spring constant $k$ is attached to the lower block. If the system is slightly displaced and released,then ($\mu =$ coefficient of friction between the two blocks):
$(A)$ The time period of small oscillation of the two blocks is $T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M + m}{k}}$
$(B)$ The acceleration of the blocks is $a = \frac{kx}{M + m}$ ($x =$ displacement of the blocks from the mean position)
$(C)$ The magnitude of the frictional force on the upper block is $f = \frac{mkx}{M + m}$
$(D)$ The maximum amplitude of the upper block,if it does not slip,is $A = \frac{\mu mg(M + m)}{mk} = \frac{\mu g(M + m)}{k}$ (Wait,let's re-evaluate: $f_{max} = \mu mg$. Since $f = ma = m \cdot \frac{kx}{M+m}$,at max amplitude $A$,$m \cdot \frac{kA}{M+m} = \mu mg \implies A = \frac{\mu g(M+m)}{k}$)
$(E)$ Maximum frictional force can be $\mu mg$.
