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
If the mass of the bob in a simple pendulum is increased to thrice its original mass and its length is made half its original length, then the new time period of oscillation is $\frac{x}{2}$ times its original time period. Then the value of $x$ is:
A rod of mass $‘M’$ and length $‘2L’$ is suspended at its middle by a wire. It exhibits torsional oscillations; If two masses each of $‘m’$ are attached at distance $‘L/2’$ from its centre on both sides, it reduces the oscillation frequency by $20\%$. The value of ratio $m/M$ is close to
The potential energy of a simple harmonic oscillator at mean position is $2\,joules$. If its mean $K.E.$ is $4\,joules$, its total energy will be .... $J$
The displacement time graph of a particle executing $S.H.M.$ is given in figure: (sketch is schematic and not to scale) Which of the following statements is are true for this motion?
$(A)$ The force is zero $t=\frac{3 T}{4}$
$(B)$ The acceleration is maximum at $t=T$
$(C)$ The speed is maximum at $t =\frac{ T }{4}$
$(D)$ The $P.E.$ is equal to $K.E.$ of the oscillation at $t=\frac{T}{2}$
As per given figures, two springs of spring constants $K$ and $2\,K$ are connected to mass $m$. If the period of oscillation in figure $(a)$ is $3 s$, then the period of oscillation in figure $(b)$ will be $\sqrt{ x }$ s. The value of $x$ is$.........$
