One end of a spring of force constant $k$ is fixed to a vertical wall and the other to a block of mass $m$ resting on a smooth horizontal surface. There is another wall at a distance $x_0$ from the block. The spring is then compressed by $2x_0$ and released. The time taken to strike the wall is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{6}\pi \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$
  • C
    $\frac{2\pi}{3}\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$
  • D
    $\frac{\pi}{4}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

The frequency of oscillations of a mass $m$ connected horizontally by a spring of spring constant $k$ is $4 \ Hz$. When the spring is replaced by two identical springs connected in series as shown in the figure,the effective frequency is:

$A$ mass '$m_1$' is suspended from a spring of negligible mass. The spring is pulled slightly in the downward direction and released; the mass performs $S.H.M.$ with a period '$T_1$'. If the mass is increased by '$m_2$',the time period becomes '$T_2$'. The ratio $\frac{m_2}{m_1}$ is

Springs of spring constants $K, 2K, 4K, 8K, \dots$ are connected in series. $A$ mass of $40 \, g$ is attached to the lower end of the last spring and the system is allowed to vibrate. What is the time period of oscillation in seconds? (Given $K = 2 \, N/cm$)

The frequency of oscillation of the spring-mass system shown in the figure is:

$A$ body of mass $1 \ kg$ is suspended from a spring of force constant $600 \ N \ m^{-1}$. Another body of mass $0.5 \ kg$ moving vertically upwards hits the suspended body with a velocity of $3 \ m \ s^{-1}$ and gets embedded in it. The amplitude of motion is (in $cm$)
