Two springs, of force constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ are connected to a mass $m$ as shown. The frequency of oscillation of the mass is $f$ If both $k_1$ and $k_2$ are made four times their original values, the frequency of oscillation becomes
A$2f$
B$f /2$
C$f /4$
D$4f$

A$2f$
a The two springs are in parallel.
$f=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{K_{1}+K_{2}}{m}}$ $...(i)$
$f^{\prime}=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{4 K_{1}+4 K_{2}}{m}}$
$=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{4\left(K_{1}+4 K_{2}\right)}{m}}=2\left(\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{K_{1}+K_{2}}{m}}\right)$
$=2 f \quad$ from eqn. $(i)$

A clock which keeps correct time at ${20^o}C$, is subjected to ${40^o}C$. If coefficient of linear expansion of the pendulum is $12 \times {10^{ - 6}}/^\circ C$. How much will it gain or loose in time
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
A simple pendulum consisting of a light inextensible string of length $\ell$ attached to a heavy small bob of mass $m$ is at rest. The bob is imparted a horizontal impulsive force which gives it a speed of $\sqrt{4 g \ell}$. The speed of the bob at its highest point is ( $g$ is the accelaration due to gravity)
A man is swinging on a swing made of $2$ ropes of equal length $L$ and in direction perpendicular to the plane of paper. The time period of the small oscillations about the mean position is
A mass m is suspended from a spring of length l and force constant $K$. The frequency of vibration of the mass is ${f_1}$. The spring is cut into two equal parts and the same mass is suspended from one of the parts. The new frequency of vibration of mass is ${f_2}$. Which of the following relations between the frequencies is correct
There is a simple pendulum hanging from the ceiling of a lift. When the lift is stand still, the time period of the pendulum is $T$. If the resultant acceleration becomes $g/4,$ then the new time period of the pendulum is
A large horizontal surface moves up and down in $SHM$ with an amplitude of $1 \,cm$. If a mass of $10\, kg$ (which is placed on the surface) is to remain continually in contact with it, the maximum frequency of $S.H.M.$ will be ... $Hz$
