The effective spring constant of two spring system as shown in figure will be
A${K_1} + {K_2}$
B${K_1}{K_2}/{K_1} + {K_2}$
C${K_1} - {K_2}$
D${K_1}{K_2}/{K_1} - {K_2}$

A${K_1} + {K_2}$
a (a)When external force is applied, one spring gets extended and another one gets contracted by the same distance hence force due to two springs act in same direction.
i.e. $F = {F_1} + {F_2}$
==> $ - \,kx = - \,{k_1}x - {k_2}x$
$\Rightarrow $$k = {k_1} + {k_2}$

A particle executes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of $4 \mathrm{~cm}$. At the mean position, velocity of the particle is $10 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}$. The distance of the particle from the mean position when its speed becomes $5 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}$ is $\sqrt{\alpha} \mathrm{cm}$, where $\alpha=$____________.
A $1 \,kg$ block attached to a spring vibrates with a frequency of $1\, Hz$ on a frictionless horizontal table. Two springs identical to the original spring are attached in parallel to an $8\, kg$ block placed on the same table. So, the frequency of vibration of the $8\, kg$ block is ..... $Hz$
Which of the following expressions corresponds to simple harmonic motion along a straight line, where $x$ is the displacement and $a, b, c$ are positive constants?
A body is executing Simple Harmonic Motion. At a displacement $x$ its potential energy is ${E_1}$ and at a displacement y its potential energy is ${E_2}$. The potential energy $E$ at displacement $(x + y)$ is
A sphere of radius $r$ is kept on a concave mirror of radius of curvature $R$. The arrangement is kept on a horizontal table (the surface of concave mirror is frictionless and sliding not rolling). If the sphere is displaced from its equilibrium position and left, then it executes $S.H.M.$ The period of oscillation will be
A lift is descending with acceleration $g/3$ . What will be the time period of a simple pendulum suspended from its ceiling if its time period in staionary life is $'T'$ ?
