Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are suspended together by a massless spring of constant $K$. When the masses are in equilibrium,$m_1$ is removed without disturbing the system. The amplitude of oscillations is

  • A
    $\frac{m_1 g}{K}$
  • B
    $\frac{m_2 g}{K}$
  • C
    $\frac{(m_1 + m_2)g}{K}$
  • D
    $\frac{(m_1 - m_2)g}{K}$

Two blocks of masses $m$ and $M$ $(M > m)$ are placed on a frictionless table as shown in the figure. $A$ massless spring with spring constant $k$ is attached to the lower block. If the system is slightly displaced and released,then ($\mu =$ coefficient of friction between the two blocks):
$(A)$ The time period of small oscillation of the two blocks is $T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M + m}{k}}$
$(B)$ The acceleration of the blocks is $a = \frac{kx}{M + m}$ ($x =$ displacement of the blocks from the mean position)
$(C)$ The magnitude of the frictional force on the upper block is $f = \frac{mkx}{M + m}$
$(D)$ The maximum amplitude of the upper block,if it does not slip,is $A = \frac{\mu mg(M + m)}{mk} = \frac{\mu g(M + m)}{k}$ (Wait,let's re-evaluate: $f_{max} = \mu mg$. Since $f = ma = m \cdot \frac{kx}{M+m}$,at max amplitude $A$,$m \cdot \frac{kA}{M+m} = \mu mg \implies A = \frac{\mu g(M+m)}{k}$)
$(E)$ Maximum frictional force can be $\mu mg$.

Two small bodies of mass $2 \, kg$ each are attached to each other using a thread of length $10 \, cm$,and hang on a spring whose force constant is $200 \, N/m$,as shown in the figure. We burn the thread. What is the distance between the two bodies when the top body first arrives at its highest position? (Take $\pi^2 = 10$)

In the figure given below,a block of mass $M = 490 \, g$ placed on a frictionless table is connected with two springs having the same spring constant $(K = 2 \, N \, m^{-1})$. If the block is horizontally displaced through '$X$' m,then the number of complete oscillations it will make in $14 \pi$ seconds will be $.........$

$A$ clock is designed based on the oscillations of a spring-block system suspended vertically in the absence of air resistance. Assume it shows the correct time when a spring of stiffness $k$ and a block of mass $m$ are used. If the block is replaced by another block of mass $4m$, choose the correct option.

As shown in the figure,$S_1$ and $S_2$ are identical springs with spring constant $K$ each. The oscillation frequency of the mass $m$ is $f$. If the spring $S_2$ is removed,the oscillation frequency will become
