A body mass m is attached to the lower end of a spring whose upper end is fixed. The spring has neglible mass. When the mass m is slightly pulled down and released, it oscillates with a time period of 3s. When the mass m is increased by 1 kg, the time period of oscillations becomes 5s. The value of m in kg is-

1. $\frac{3}{4}$               

2. $\frac{4}{3}$

3. $\frac{16}{9}$               

4. $\frac{9}{16}$

When two displacements represented by y₁=asin(ωt) and y₂=bcos(ωt) are superimposed,the motion is -

(1) not a simple harmonic

(2) simple harmonic with amplitude a/b

(3) simple harmonic with amplitude $\sqrt{a^{2 }+ b^2}$

(4) simple harmonic with amplitude (a+b)/2

A partricle is executing a simple harmonic motion. Its maximum acceleration is α and maximum velocity is  β. Then, its time period of vibration will be

(1)β²/α² 

(2)α/β

(3)β²/α

(4)2πβ/α 

The damping force on an oscillator is directly proportional to the velocity.The units of the constant of proportionality are 

(1)$kg m{s}^{-1}$                               

(2)$kg m{s}^{-2}$

(3)$kg s^{-1}$                                   

(4)$kg s$

The period of oscillation of a mass \(M\) suspended from a spring of negligible mass is \(T.\) If along with it another mass \(M\) is also suspended, the period of oscillation will now be:
1. \(T\)
2. \(T/\sqrt{2}\)
3. \(2T\)
4. \(\sqrt{2} T\)

Two simple harmonic motions of angular frequency \(100~\text{rad s}^{-1}\) and \(1000~\text{rad s}^{-1}\) have the same displacement amplitude. The ratio of their maximum acceleration will be:
1. \(1:10\)
2. \(1:10^{2}\)
3. \(1:10^{3}\)
4. \(1:10^{4}\)

A point performs simple harmonic oscillation of period T and the equation of motion is given by x= a sin $\left(\omega t +\pi /6\right)$.After the elapse of what fraction of the time period the velocity of the point will be equal to half to its maximum velocity?

1.  $\frac{T}{8}$

2.  $\frac{T}{6}$

3. $\frac{\mathrm{ T}}{3}$

4 $\frac{T}{\mathrm{ 12}}$
