The upper end of the spring is fixed and a mass $m$ is attached to its lower end. When the mass is slightly pulled down and released,it oscillates with a time period of $3 \text{ s}$. If the mass $m$ is increased by $1 \text{ kg}$,the time period becomes $5 \text{ s}$. The value of $m$ is (mass of the spring is negligible).

$A$ rectangular block of mass $5\,kg$ attached to a horizontal spiral spring executes simple harmonic motion of amplitude $1\,m$ and time period $3.14\,s$. The maximum force exerted by the spring on the block is $.......N$.

$A$ small mass $m$ is suspended at the end of a wire having negligible mass,length $L$,and cross-sectional area $A$. The frequency of oscillation for the $S.H.M.$ along the vertical line is ($Y =$ Young's modulus of the wire).

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

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.
