Four massless springs whose force constants are $2k, 2k, k$ and $2k$ respectively are attached to a mass $M$ kept on a frictionless plane as shown in the figure. If the mass $M$ is displaced in the horizontal direction, then the frequency of the system is

Time period of pendulum, on a satellite orbiting the earth, is

If maximum speed of a particle in SHM is given by $V_m$, what is its average speed?

In simple harmonic motion, loss of kinetic energy is proportional to

Which of the following equation does not represent a SHM?

The bob of a simple pendulum is a ball full of water, if a fine hole is made in the bottom of the ball, the time period first increases and then decreases. As water flows out of the bob the weight of bob decreases.

In an SHM, kinetic and potential energies become equal when the displacement is 1/$\sqrt{2}$ times the amplitude. In SHM, kinetic energy is zero when potential energy is maximum.

A large horizontal surface moves up and down in $S.H.M.$ with an amplitude of $1\, cm$. If a mass of $10\, kg$ (which is placed on the surface) is to remain continuously in contact with it, the maximum frequency of S.H.M. will be

Which of the following functions represents a simple harmonic oscillation?

Two springs are connected to a block of mass $M$ placed on a frictionless surface as shown below. If both the springs have a spring constant $k$, the frequency of oscillation of the block is

Two springs of force constants $k$ and $2k$ are connected to a mass as shown below. The frequency of oscillation of the mass is

A simple pendulum has a bob suspended by an inextensible thread of length $1$ metre from a point $A$ of suspension. At the extreme position of oscillation, the thread is suddenly caught by a peg at a point $B$ distant (1/4) m from $A$ and the bob begins to oscillate in the new condition. The change in frequency of oscillation of the pendulum is approximately given by $\left(g=10 m / s ^{2}\right)$.

For a particle executing simple harmonic motion, which of the following statements is not correct?

If a simple pendulum oscillates with an amplitude of $50\, mm$ and time period of $2\, sec$, then its maximum velocity, is

If the metal bob of a simple pendulum is replaced by a wooden bob, then its time period will

Resonance is a special case of forced vibration in which the natural frequency of vibration of the body is the same as the impressed frequency and the amplitude of forced vibration, is maximum. The amplitude of forced vibrations of a body increases with an increase in the frequency of the externally impressed periodic force.
