Three masses 700g, 500g, and 400g are suspended at the end of a spring as shown and are in equilibrium. When the 700g mass is removed, the system oscillates with a period of 3 seconds. When the 500 gm mass is also removed, it will oscillate with a period of

1. 1 s

2. 2 s

3. 3 s

4. $\sqrt{\frac{12}{5}}s$

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:

A particle of mass m oscillates with simple harmonic motion between points $x_1$ and $x_2$ , the equilibrium position being O. Its potential energy is plotted. It will be as given below in the graph
