    On a frictionless horizontal plane, a bob of mass $m=0.1 kg$ is attached to a spring with natural length $l_0=0.1 m$. The spring constant is $k_1=0.009 Nm ^{-1}$ when the length of the spring $I > l_0$ and is $k_2=0.016 Nm ^{-1}$ when $ I < l_0$. Initially the bob is released from $l=0.15 m$. Assume that Hooke's law remains valid throughout the motion. If the time period of the full oscillation is $T=(n \pi) s$, then the integer closest to $n$ is. . . . .

    An oscillator of mass $M$  is at rest in its equilibrium position in a potential $V\, = \,\frac{1}{2}\,k{(x - X)^2}.$ A particle of mass $m$  comes from right with speed $u$  and collides completely inelastically with $M$ and sticks to it . This process repeats every time the oscillator crosses its equilibrium position .The amplitude of oscillations after $13$  collisions is: $(M = 10,\, m = 5,\, u = 1,\, k = 1 ).$
