    The drawing shows a top view of a frictionless horizontal surface, where there are two indentical springs with particles of mass $m_1$ and $m_2$ attached to them. Each spring has a spring constant of $1200\  N/m.$ The particles are pulled to the right and then released from the  positions shown in the drawing. How much time passes before the particles are again side by side for the first time if $m_1 = 3.0\  kg$ and $m_2 = 27 \,kg \,?$

    A block with mass $M$ is connected by a massless spring with stiffiess constant $k$ to a rigid wall and moves without friction on a horizontal surface. The block oscillates with small amplitude $A$ about an equilibrium position $x_0$. Consider two cases: ($i$) when the block is at $x_0$; and ($ii$) when the block is at $x=x_0+A$. In both the cases, a perticle with mass $m$ is placed on the mass $M$ ?

    ($A$) The amplitude of oscillation in the first case changes by a factor of $\sqrt{\frac{M}{m+M}}$, whereas in the second case it remains unchanged

    ($B$) The final time period of oscillation in both the cases is same

    ($C$) The total energy decreases in both the cases

    ($D$) The instantaneous speed at $x_0$ of the combined masses decreases in both the cases
