$A$ block of mass $M_1$ is hanged by a light spring of force constant $k$ to the top bar of a reverse Uframe of mass $M_2$ on the floor. The block is pooled down from its equilibrium position by $a$ distance $x$ and then released. Find the minimum value of $x$ such that the reverse $U$ -frame will leave the floor momentarily.

    Two identical balls A and B each of mass 0.1 kg are attached to two identical massless springs. The spring mass system is constrained to move inside a rigid smooth pipe bent in the form of a circle as shown in the figure. The pipe is fixed in a horizontal plane. The centres of the balls can move in a circle of radius 0.06 m. Each spring has a natural length of 0.06$\pi$ m and force constant 0.1N/m. Initially both the balls are displaced by an angle $\theta = \pi /6$ radian with respect to the diameter $PQ$ of the circle and released from rest. The frequency of oscillation of the ball B is

    In figure $(A),$ mass ' $2 m$ ' is fixed on mass ' $m$ ' which is attached to two springs of spring constant $k$. In figure $(B),$ mass ' $m$ ' is attached to two spring of spring constant ' $k$ ' and ' $2 k$ '. If mass ' $m$ ' in $(A)$ and $(B)$ are displaced by distance ' $x$ ' horizontally and then released, then time period $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ corresponding to $(A)$ and $(B)$ respectively follow the relation.
