Two spherical bobs of masses \(M_A\) and \(M_B\) are hung vertically from two strings of length \(l_A\) and \(l_B\) respectively. If they are executing SHM with frequency as per the relation \(f_A=2f_B,\) Then:
1. \(l_A = \frac{l_B}{4}\)
2. \(l_A= 4l_B\)
3. \(l_A= 2l_B~\&~M_A=2M_B\)
4. \(l_A= \frac{l_B}{2}~\&~M_A=\frac{M_B}{2}\)

A spring elongates by a length 'L' when a mass 'M' is suspended to it. Now a tiny mass 'm' is attached to the mass 'M' and then released. The new time period of oscillation will be:

1.  \(2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\left(\right. M   +   m \left.\right) l}{Mg}}\)

2. \(2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{ml}{Mg}}\)

3. \(2 \pi \sqrt{L   /   g}\)

4. \(2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{Ml}{\left(\right. m   +   M \left.\right) g}}\)

When a mass is suspended separately by two different springs, in successive order, then the time period of oscillations is \(t _1\) and \(t_2\) respectively. If it is connected by both springs as shown in the figure below, then the time period of oscillation becomes \(t_0.\) The correct relation between \(t_0,\) \(t_1\) & \(t_2\) is:

1. t02=t12+t22

2. t0-2=t1-2+t2-2

3. t0-1=t1-1+t2-1

4. t0=t1+t2
