The mass $M$ shown in the figure oscillates in simple harmonic motion with amplitude $A$. The amplitude of the point $P$ is
A$\frac{k_1 A}{k_2}$
B$\frac{k_2 A}{k_1}$
C$\frac{k_1 A}{k_1+k_2}$
D$\frac{k_2 A}{k_1+k_2}$

D$\frac{k_2 A}{k_1+k_2}$
d $F = k _1 x _1 \text { and } F = k _2 x _2$
$\text { tehn } A = x _1+ x _2= F \left(\frac{1}{ k _1}+\frac{1}{ k _2}\right)$
$F =\frac{ k _1 k _2}{ k _1+ k _2} A$
So the amplitude of the point is $x _1=\frac{ F }{ k _1}=\frac{k_2}{k_1+k_2} A$

A simple pendulum of length $L$ is constructed from a point object of mass $m$ suspended by a massless string attached to a fixed pivot point. $A$ small peg is placed a distance $2L/3$ directly below the fixed pivot point so that the pendulum would swing as shown in the figure below. The mass is displaced $5$ degrees from the vertical and released. How long does it take to return to its starting position?
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$......$
If $< E >$ and $< U >$ denote the average kinetic and the average potential energies respectively of mass describing a simple harmonic motion, over one period, then the correct relation is
A cylindrical plastic bottle of negligible mass of filled with $310\, ml$ of water and left floating in a pond with still water. If pressed downward slightly and released, it starts performing simple harmonic motion at angular frequency $\omega $. If the radius of the bottle is $2.5\, cm$ then $\omega $ is close to ..... $rad\, s^{-1}$ (density of water $= 10^3\, kg/m^3$)
