Two identical balls A and B each of mass 0.1 kg are attached to two identical massless springs. The spring mass system is constrained to move inside a rigid smooth pipe bent in the form of a circle as shown in the figure. The pipe is fixed in a horizontal plane. The centres of the balls can move in a circle of radius 0.06 m. Each spring has a natural length of 0.06$\pi$ m and force constant 0.1N/m. Initially both the balls are displaced by an angle $\theta = \pi /6$ radian with respect to the diameter $PQ$ of the circle and released from rest. The frequency of oscillation of the ball B is
A$\pi \,Hz$
B$\frac{1}{\pi }Hz$
C$2\pi \,Hz$
D$\frac{1}{{2\pi }}Hz$

B$\frac{1}{\pi }Hz$
b (b)As here two masses are connected by two springs, this problem is equivalent to the oscillation of a reduced mass ${m_r}$ of a spring of effective spring constant.
$T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{{m_r}}}{{{K_{eff.}}}}} $
Here ${m_r} = \frac{{{m_1}{m_2}}}{{{m_1} + {m_2}}} = \frac{m}{2}$ ==> ${K_{eff.}} = {K_1} + {K_2} = 2K$
$n = \frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{{K_{eff.}}}}{{{m_r}}}} = \frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{2K}}{m} \times 2} $$ = \frac{1}{\pi }\sqrt {\frac{K}{m}} = \frac{1}{\pi }\sqrt {\frac{{0.1}}{{0.1}}} = \frac{1}{\pi }Hz$

A simple pendulum with length $100\,cm$ and bob of mass $250\,g$ is executing S.H.M. of amplitude $10\,cm$. The maximum tension in the string is found to be $\frac{x}{40}\,N$. The value of $x$ is $..........$.
$Assertion :$ In $SHM$, acceleration is always directed towards the mean position.
$Reason :$ In $SHM$, the body has to stop momentary at the extreme position and move back to mean position.
What is the velocity of the bob of a simple pendulum at its mean position, if it is able to rise to vertical height of $10cm$ ......... $m/s$ (Take $g = 9.8\,m/{s^2})$
Two bodies performing $S.H.M.$ have same amplitude and frequency. Their phases at a certain instant are as shown in the figure. The phase difference between them is
A particle executes $SHM.$ Its velocities are $v_1$and $v_2$ at displacement $x_1$ and $x_2$ from mean position respectively. The frequency of oscillation will be
A particle of mass $m$ is dropped from a height $R$ equal to the radius of the earth above the tunnel dug through the earth as shown in the figure. Hence the correct statement is
A particle is excuting a simple harmonic motion. Its maximum acceleration is $\alpha $ and maximum velocity is $\beta $. Then its frequency of vibration will be
