The graph shown was obtained from experimental measurements of the period of oscillations $T$ for different masses $M$ placed in the scale pan on the lower end of the spring balance. The most likely reason for the line not passing through the origin is that the
If we draw a graph between ${T^2}$ and $M$ then it will be straight line.
and for $M = 0, T^2 = 0$
i.e. the graph should pass through the origin.but from the it is not reflected it means the mass of pan was neglected.

A particle executes $SHM$ of period $1.2\, sec$ and amplitude $8\, cm.$ Find the time it takes to travel $3\,cm$ from the positive extremity of its oscillation. ..... $\sec$
Two bodies $M$ and $N $ of equal masses are suspended from two separate massless springs of force constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ respectively. If the two bodies oscillate vertically such that their maximum velocities are equal, the ratio of the amplitude $M$ to that of $N$ is
The energy of a particle executing simple harmonic motion is given by $E = Ax^2 + Bv^2$, where $x$ is the displacement from mean position $x = 0$ and $v$ is the velocity of the particle at $x$ then choose the incorrect statement
A simple pendulum is placed at a place where its distance from the earth's surface is equal to the radius of the earth. If the length of the string is $4 \mathrm{~m}$, then the time period of small oscillations will be ____ $s$. $\left[\right.$ take $\left.\mathrm{g}=\pi^2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\right]$
In forced oscillation of a particle the amplitude is maximum for a frequency $\omega_{1}$ of the force, while the energy is maximum for a frequency $\omega_{2}$ of the force, then
One end of a rod of length $L$ is fixed to a point on the circumference of a wheel of radius $R$. The other end is sliding freely along a straight channel passing through the centre of the wheel as shown in the figure below. The wheel is rotating with a constant angular velocity $\omega$ about $O$. Taking $T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}$, the motion of the rod is
A body executes simple harmonic motion under the action of a force $F_1$ with a time period $(4/5)\, sec$. If the force is changed to $F_2$ it executes $SHM$ with time period $(3/5)\, sec$. If both the forces $F_1$ and $F_2$ act simultaneously in the same direction on the body, its time period (in $seconds$ ) is
