The drawing shows a top view of a frictionless horizontal surface,where there are two identical springs with particles of mass $m_1$ and $m_2$ attached to them. Each spring has a spring constant of $1200 \ N/m$. The particles are pulled to the right and then released from the positions shown in the drawing. How much time passes before the particles are again side by side for the first time if $m_1 = 3.0 \ kg$ and $m_2 = 27 \ kg$?

One end of a long metallic wire of length $L$ is tied to the ceiling. The other end is tied to a massless spring of spring constant $K$. $A$ mass $m$ hangs freely from the free end of the spring. The area of cross-section and Young's modulus of the wire are $A$ and $Y$ respectively. If the mass is slightly pulled down and released,it will oscillate with a time period $T$ equal to

$A$ horizontal spring executes $S.H.M.$ with amplitude $A_{1}$,when mass $m_{1}$ is attached to it. When it passes through the mean position,another mass $m_{2}$ is placed on it. Both masses move together with amplitude $A_{2}$. Therefore,the ratio $A_{2}: A_{1}$ is:

Two identical springs of spring constant $k$ are attached to a block of mass $m$ and to fixed supports as shown in the figure. When the mass is displaced from the equilibrium position by a distance $x$ towards the right,find the restoring force.

$A$ block with mass $M$ is connected by a massless spring with stiffness constant $k$ to a rigid wall and moves without friction on a horizontal surface. The block oscillates with small amplitude $A$ about an equilibrium position $x_0$. Consider two cases: $(i)$ when the block is at $x_0$; and $(ii)$ when the block is at $x = x_0 + A$. In both cases, a particle with mass $m$ is placed on the mass $M$. Which of the following statements are correct?

$A$ block of mass $m$,attached to a spring of spring constant $k$,oscillates on a smooth horizontal table. The other end of the spring is fixed to a wall. The block has a speed $v$ when the spring is at its natural length. Before coming to an instantaneous rest,if the block moves a distance $x$ from the mean position,then
