An ideal spring with spring-constant K is hung from the ceiling and a block of mass M is attached to its lower end. The mass is released with the spring initially unstretched. Then the maximum extension in the spring is -

(1) 4 Mg/K         

(2) 2 Mg/K

(3) Mg/K             

(4) Mg/2K

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) $2\mathrm{\pi }\sqrt{\frac{2\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{k}}}$          (b) $2\mathrm{\pi }\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{2\mathrm{k}}}$

(c) $2\mathrm{\pi }\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{k}}}$            (d) $2\mathrm{\pi }\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{3\mathrm{k}}}$

The graph shows the variation of displacement of a particle executing SHM with time. We infer from this graph that:

For a particle executing SHM the displacement \(x \) is given by, \(A\cos \omega t.\)  Identify the graph which represents the variation of potential energy (P.E.) as a function of time \(t\) and displacement \(x.\)

The displacement of a body executing SHM is given by x= A sin (2$\mathrm{\pi }$t + $\mathrm{\pi }$/3). The first time from t = 0 when the velocity is maximum is :
1. 0.33 sec
2. 0.16 sec
3. 0.25 sec
4. 0.5 sec

The time period of a particle executing SHM is 8 sec. At t = 0 it is at the mean position. The ratio of the distance covered by the particle in the 1st second to the 2nd second is :

1. $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} + 1}$

2. $\sqrt{2}$

3. $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$

4. $\sqrt{2} + 1$

Two particles are in SHM in a straight line. Amplitude A and time period T of both the particles are equal. At time t = 0, one particle is at displacement Y₁ = + A and the other at Y₂ = -A/2, and they are approaching towards each other. After what time they cross each other?

2. T/4
3. 5T/6
