Find the maximum amplitude for safe $SHM$ (the block does not topple during $SHM$) of a cubical block of side $a$ on a smooth horizontal floor as shown in the figure (the spring is massless). The spring is attached at a height of $2a/3$ from the floor.

  • A
    $\frac{mg}{3K}$
  • B

  • C
    $\frac{2mg}{3K}$
  • D

One end of a long metallic wire of length $L$,area of cross-section $A$ and Young's modulus $Y$ is tied to the ceiling. The other end is tied to a massless spring of force constant $k$ and a mass $m$ is hung from the free end of the spring. If $m$ is slightly pulled down and released,then its time period of oscillation is

Two particles $A$ and $B$ of equal masses are suspended from two massless springs of spring constants $K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$ respectively. If the maximum velocities during oscillations are equal,the ratio of the amplitude of $A$ and $B$ is

$A$ block of mass $M$ rests on a piston executing $S.H.M.$ with a period of $1 \,s$. The amplitude of oscillations, such that the mass is separated from the piston, is (acceleration due to gravity, $g=10 \,m/s^2$, $\pi^2=10$)

$A$ particle of mass $1 \, \text{kg}$ is hanging from a spring of force constant $100 \, \text{N/m}$. The mass is pulled slightly downward and released so that it executes free simple harmonic motion with time period $T$. The time when the kinetic energy and potential energy of the system will become equal is $\frac{T}{x}$. The value of $x$ is ..... .

$A$ weightless spring which has a force constant $k$ oscillates with frequency $n$ when a mass $m$ is suspended from it. The spring is cut into two equal halves and a mass $2m$ is suspended from one of the halves. The frequency of oscillation will now become:
