$A$ $1\,kg$ mass is attached to a spring of force constant $600\,N/m$ and rests on a smooth horizontal surface with the other end of the spring tied to a wall as shown in the figure. $A$ second mass of $0.5\,kg$ slides along the surface towards the first at $3\,m/s$. If the masses make a perfectly inelastic collision,find the amplitude and time period of oscillation of the combined mass.

$A$ system of two identical rods ($L$-shaped) of mass $m$ and length $l$ are resting on a peg $P$ as shown in the figure. If the system is displaced in its plane by a small angle $\theta$,find the period of oscillations:

$A$ particle is executing $SHM$ with amplitude $A,$ time period $T,$ maximum acceleration $a_0$ and maximum velocity $v_0.$ It starts from the mean position at $t=0.$ At time $t,$ it has displacement $A/2,$ acceleration $a,$ and velocity $v.$ Then:

Two masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length $l$. The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant $k$ at the centre of mass of the rod-mass system (see figure). Because of the torsional constant $k$,the restoring torque is $\tau = k\theta$ for an angular displacement $\theta$. If the rod is rotated by $\theta_0$ and released,the tension in it when it passes through its mean position will be
