One end of a spring of force constant k is fixed to a vertical wall and the other to a block of mass m resting on a smooth horizontal surface. There is another wall at a distance ${x_0}$ from the black. The spring is then compressed by $2{x_0}$ and released. The time taken to strike the wall is
A$\frac{1}{6}\pi \sqrt {\frac{k}{m}} $
B$\sqrt {\frac{k}{m}} $
C$\frac{{2\pi }}{3}\sqrt {\frac{m}{k}} $
D$\frac{\pi }{4}\sqrt {\frac{k}{m}} $

C$\frac{{2\pi }}{3}\sqrt {\frac{m}{k}} $
c (c) The total time from $A$ to $C$
${t_{Ac}} = {t_{AB}} + {t_{BC}}$
$ = (T/4) + {t_{BC}}$
where $T =$ time period of oscillation of spring mass system
${t_{BC}}$ can be obtained from, $BC = AB\sin (2\pi /T)\,{t_{BC}}$
Putting $\frac{{BC}}{{AB}} = \frac{1}{2}$ we obtain ${t_{BC}} = \frac{T}{{12}}$
==> ${t_{AC}} = \frac{T}{4} + \frac{T}{{12}} = \frac{{2\pi }}{3}\sqrt {\frac{m}{k}} $.

A $5\, kg$ collar is attached to a spring of spring constant $500\, Nm^{-1}$. It slides without friction over a horizontal rod. The collar is displaced from its equillibrium position by $10\, cm$ and released. The time period of oscillation is
The potential energy of a particle of mass $4\,kg$ in motion along the $x$-axis is given by $U =4(1-\cos 4 x )\,J$. The time period of the particle for small oscillation $(\sin \theta \simeq \theta)$ is $\left(\frac{\pi}{ K }\right)\,s$. The value of $K$ is .......
