    A trolley of mass $m_1$ is placed on horizontal rigid pair of rails at same height. A mass $m_2$ is suspended to the trolley vertically by me ans of a ideal massless rope. The rope hangs between rails without touching them. Trolley can move along smooth rails but can't move in any other direction. Suspended mass is given small oscillation and perform $SHM$ after displacing small from stable equilibrium position in two ways, first perpendicular to the rails and second parallel to the rails. The ratio of time period of these (second case to first case) two $SHM's$ is

    Two light identical springs of spring constant $k$ are attached horizontally at the two ends of a uniform horizontal rod $AB$ of length $l$ and mass $m$. the rod is pivoted at its centre $‘O’$ and can rotate freely in horizontal plane. The other ends of the two springs are fixed to rigid supports as shown in figure. The rod is gently pushed through a small angle and released. The frequency of resulting oscillation is
