The time period of a mass suspended from a spring is $T$. If the spring is cut into four equal parts and the same mass is suspended from one of the parts, then the new time period will be
A$T$
B$\frac{T}{2}$
C$2 T$
D$\frac{T}{4}$

B$\frac{T}{2}$
b (b)By cutting spring in four equal parts force constant (K) of each parts becomes four times so by using $T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{m}{K}} ;$ time period will be half i.e. $T' = T/2$

A body executes sample 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, it's time period (in $second$) is
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$.........$
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 $SHM$? ..... $rad/s$
The force-deformation equation for a nonlinear spring fixed at one end is $F =4x^{1/ 2}$ , where $F$ is the force (expressed in newtons) applied at the other end and $x$ is the deformation expressed in meters
The amplitude of an oscillating simple pendulum is $10\,cm$ and its period is $4\, sec$. Its speed after $1\, sec$ after it passes its equilibrium position, is ... $m/s$
In the figure, ${S_1}$ and ${S_2}$ are identical springs. The oscillation frequency of the mass $m$ is $f$. If one spring is removed, the frequency will become
