$A$ 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. Which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    The total energy of the system is $\frac{1}{2} M \omega^2 A^2 + \frac{1}{2} \frac{q^2 E^2}{k}$
  • B
    The new equilibrium position is at a distance: $\frac{2qE}{k}$ from $x = 0$
  • C
    The new equilibrium position is at a distance: $\frac{qE}{2k}$ from $x = 0$
  • D
    The total energy of the system is $\frac{1}{2} M \omega^2 A^2 - \frac{1}{2} \frac{q^2 E^2}{k}$

$A$ mass attached to a spring is free to oscillate,with angular velocity $\omega$,in a horizontal plane without friction or damping. It is pulled to a distance $x_{0}$ and pushed towards the centre with a velocity $v_{0}$ at time $t=0$. Determine the amplitude of the resulting oscillations in terms of the parameters $\omega, x_{0}$ and $v_{0}$. [Hint: Start with the equation $x=A \cos (\omega t+\theta)$ and note that the initial velocity is negative.]

$A$ block of mass $2\,kg$ is attached to two identical springs,each with a spring constant of $20\,N/m$. The block is placed on a frictionless surface,and the outer ends of the springs are attached to rigid supports (see figure). When the mass is displaced from its equilibrium position,it executes simple harmonic motion. The time period of oscillation is $\frac{\pi}{\sqrt{x}}$ in $SI$ units. The value of $x$ is $..........$

$A$ body executes $SHM$ under the action of force $F_1$ with time period $T_1$. If the force is changed to $F_2$,it executes $SHM$ with time period $T_2$. If both the forces $F_1$ and $F_2$ act simultaneously in the same direction on the body,its time period is:

In the provided figure,two bodies $A$ and $B$ of masses $200 \, g$ and $800 \, g$ are attached to a system of springs. The springs are kept in a stretched position when the system is released.
