As shown in the figures,a uniform rod $OO^{\prime}$ of length $l$ is hinged at the point $O$ and held in place vertically between two walls using two massless springs of same spring constant $K$. The springs are connected at the midpoint and at the top-end $(O^{\prime})$ of the rod,as shown in Fig. $1$,and the rod is made to oscillate by a small angular displacement. The frequency of oscillation of the rod is $f_1$. On the other hand,if both the springs are connected at the midpoint of the rod,as shown in Fig. $2$,and the rod is made to oscillate by a small angular displacement,then the frequency of oscillation is $f_2$. Ignoring gravity and assuming motion only in the plane of the diagram,the value of $\frac{f_1}{f_2}$ is:

Two particles,$1$ and $2$,each of mass $m$,are connected by a massless spring and are on a horizontal frictionless plane,as shown in the figure. Initially,the two particles,with their center of mass at $x_0$,are oscillating with amplitude $a$ and angular frequency $\omega$. Thus,their positions at time $t$ are given by $x_1(t) = (x_0 + d) + a \sin \omega t$ and $x_2(t) = (x_0 - d) - a \sin \omega t$,respectively,where $d > 2a$. Particle $3$ of mass $m$ moves towards this system with speed $u_0 = a \omega / 2$ and undergoes an instantaneous elastic collision with particle $2$ at time $t_0$. Finally,particles $1$ and $2$ acquire a center of mass speed $v_{cm}$ and oscillate with amplitude $b$ and the same angular frequency.
$(1)$ If the collision occurs at time $t_0 = 0$,the value of $v_{cm} / (a \omega)$ will be
$(2)$ If the collision occurs at time $t_0 = \pi / (2 \omega)$,then the value of $4b^2 / a^2$ will be

In the figure shown,there is friction between the blocks $P$ and $Q$,but the contact between the block $Q$ and the lower surface is frictionless. Initially,the block $Q$ with block $P$ over it lies at $x=0$,with the spring at its natural length. The block $Q$ is pulled to the right and then released. As the spring-block system undergoes $S.H.M.$ with amplitude $A$,the block $P$ tends to slip over $Q$. $P$ is more likely to slip at:

$A$ particle is executing $SHM$ with an amplitude $A$ and angular frequency $\omega$. The ratio of the maximum acceleration to the maximum velocity of the particle is:

You are holding a shallow circular container of radius $R$,filled with water to a height $h$ $(h \ll R)$. When you walk with speed $v$,it is seen that water starts spilling over. This happens due to the resonance of the periodic impulse given to the container (due to walking) with the oscillation of the water in the container. If the time period of water oscillating in the container is inversely proportional to $\sqrt{h}$,then $v$ is proportional to
