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-

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. \(\sqrt{2} T\)
A spring of force constant \(k\) is cut into lengths of ratio \(1:2:3\). They are connected in series and the new force constant is \(k'\). Then they are connected in parallel and the force constant is \(k''\). Then \(k':k''\) is:
1. \(1:9\)
2. \(1:11\)
3. \(1:14\)
4. \(1:6\)
A pendulum is hung from the roof of a sufficiently high building and is moving freely to and fro like a simple harmonic oscillator. The acceleration of the bob of the pendulum is 20 m/s2 at a distance of 5 m from the mean position. The time period of oscillation is:
1. | 2 s | 2. | s |
3. | 2 s | 4. | 1 s |
