The uniform stick of mass m length \(\text L\) is pivoted at the centre. In the equilibrium position shown in the figure, the identical light springs have their natural length. If the stick is turned through a small angle $\theta$, it executes SHM. The frequency of the motion is:

1. \(\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{6 K}{m}} \)

2. \(\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{3 K}{2 m}} \)

3. \(\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{3 K}{m}} \)

4. None of these

A second's pendulum is mounted in a rocket. Its period of oscillation decreases when the rocket:

(1) Comes down with uniform acceleration

(2) Moves around the earth in a geostationary orbit

(3) Moves up with a uniform velocity

(4) Moves up with the uniform acceleration

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 block \(P\) of mass \(m\) is placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. Another block \(Q\) of same mass is kept on \(P\) and connected to the wall with the help of a spring of spring constant \(k\) as shown in the figure. \(\mu_s\) is the coefficient of friction between \(P\) and \(Q\). The blocks move together performing SHM of amplitude \(A\). The maximum value of the friction force between \(P\) and \(Q\) will be:
