The angular frequency of the damped oscillator is given by, $\omega = \sqrt {\left( {\frac{k}{m} - \frac{{{r^2}}}{{4{m^2}}}} \right)} $ where $k$ is the spring constant, $m$ is the mass of the oscillator and $r$ is the damping constant. If the ratio $\frac{{{r^2}}}{{mk}}$ is $8\%$, the change in time period compared to the undamped oscillator is approximately as follows

A particle of mass $200 \,gm$ executes $S.H.M.$ The restoring force is provided by a spring of force constant $80 \,N / m$. The time period of oscillations is .... $\sec$
A particle of mass $m$ is attached to three identical springs $A, B$ and $C$ each of force constant $ k$ a shown in figure. If the particle of mass $m$ is pushed slightly against the spring $A$ and released then the time period of oscillations is
A particle executing simple harmonic motion has an amplitude of $6\, cm$. Its acceleration at a distance of $2 \,cm$ from the mean position is $8\,cm/{s^2}$. The maximum speed of the particle is ... $ cm/s$
A mass $0.9\,kg$, attached to a horizontal spring, executes $SHM$ with an amplitude $A _{1}$. When this mass passes through its mean position, then a smaller mass of $124\,g$ is placed over it and both masses move together with amplitude $A _{2}$. If the ratio $\frac{ A _{1}}{ A _{2}}$ is $\frac{\alpha}{\alpha-1}$, then the value of $\alpha$ will be$......$
The length of a spring is $l$ and its force constant is $k$. When a weight $W$ is suspended from it, its length increases by $x$. If the spring is cut into two equal parts and put in parallel and the same weight $W$ is suspended from them, then the extension will be
A $3\ kg$ sphere dropped through air has a terminal speed of $25\ m/s$. (Assume that the drag force is $-bv$.) Now suppose the sphere is attached to a spring of force constant $k = 300\ N/m$, and that it oscillates with an initial amplitude of $20\ cm$. What is the angular frequencu of its damped $SHM$? ..... $rad/s$
A body executes simple harmonic motion. The potential energy $(P.E.)$, the kinetic energy $(K.E.)$ and total energy $(T.E.)$ are measured as a function of displacement $x$. Which of the following statements is true
