An ideal spring with spring-constant $K$ is hung from the ceiling and a block of mass $M$ is attached to its lower end. The mass is released with the spring initially unstretched. Then the maximum extension in the spring is
A$4 Mg/K$
B$2 Mg/K$
C$Mg/K$
D$Mg/2K$

B$2 Mg/K$
b (b) Let $x$ be the maximum extension of the spring. From energy conservation
Loss in gravitational potential energy = Gain in potential energy of spring
$Mgx = \frac{1}{2}K{x^2}$
$ \Rightarrow x = \frac{{2Mg}}{K}$

An object of mass $0.2\ kg$ executes simple harmonic along $X-$ axis with frequency of $\frac{{25}}{\pi } Hz$ . At the position $x$ = $0.04\ m$ , the object has kinetic energy of $0.5\ J$ and potential energy of $0.4\ J$ amplitude of oscillation in meter is equal to
A particle executes $S.H.M.$ of amplitude A along $x$-axis. At $t =0$, the position of the particle is $x=\frac{A}{2}$ and it moves along positive $x$-axis the displacement of particle in time $t$ is $x=A \sin (\omega t+\delta)$, then the value $\delta$ will be
A particle has simple harmonic motion. The equation of its motion is $x = 5\sin \left( {4t - \frac{\pi }{6}} \right)$, where $x$ is its displacement. If the displacement of the particle is $3$ units, then it velocity is
Two particles $P$ and $Q$ start from origin and execute Simple Harmonic Motion along $X-$axis with same amplitude but with periods $3$ seconds and $6$ seconds respectively. The ratio of the velocities of $ P$ and $Q$ when they meet is
Two particles oscillating in $SHM$ along two very close parallel path such that they have same mean position. The equation of $SHM$ of two particles are $x_1 = A\, sin\,\omega t$ and $x_2 = A\,sin(\omega t + \phi )$ respectively. If maximum distance between them is $\frac{6A}{5}$ then $\phi $ equal to ..... $^o$
A particle performs $SHM$ on $x-$ axis with time period of $0.5\,sec,$ such that it's velocity is zero at $x = -3\,cm$ and at $x = 9\,cm$. It was located at $x = 0$ and moving in negative $'x'$ at $t = 0$. The equation of $SHM$ of the particle is
