A mass M is suspended from a spring of negligible mass. The spring is pulled a little and then released, so that the mass executes SHM of time period T. If the mass is increased by m, the time period becomes 5T3. Then the ratio of mM is
25/9
16/9
5/3
3/5

A spring block system with mass M and spring constant k is suspended vertically and left to oscillate. It has a natural frequency fo f1. Another spring block system with same mass and spring constant is kept on a horizontal smooth surface.Its natural frequency is observed to be f2.
What do you think will be the relation between f1 and f2.
- f1=f2
- Data Insufficient
- f1>f2
- f1<f2
In equilibrium, the spring will be stretched by 1 cm
If the mass is raised till the spring is un-stretched state and them released, it will go down by 2 cm before moving upwards.
The frequency of oscillation will be nearly 5 Hz.
If the system is taken to the moon, the frequency of oscillation will be the same as on the earth.
Two bodies A and B of equal mass are suspended from two separate massless springs of spring constant k1 and k2 respectively. If the bodies oscillate vertically such that their maximum velocities are equal, the ratio of the amplitude of A to that of B is
