For given spring-mass system, If the time period of small oscillations of block about its mean position is , then find . Assume ideal conditions. The system is in a vertical plane and take




Important Questions on Simple Harmonic Motion
In the figure shown the spring is relaxed and mass m is attached to the spring. The spring is compressed by and released at . Mass collides with the wall and loses two-third of its kinetic energy and returns. Starting from , find the time taken by it to come back to rest again (instant at which spring is again under maximum compression). Take

Figure shows the kinetic energy of a simple pendulum versus its angle from the vertical. The pendulum bob has mass . If the length of the pendulum is equal to meter, then find

If the angular frequency of small oscillations of a thin uniform vertical rod of mass and length hinged at the point (Fig.) is , then find . The force constant for each spring is and take The springs are of negligible mass.





As shown in the figure a horizontal platform with a mass placed on it is executing SHM along -axis. If the amplitude of oscillation is , the minimum period of the motion for the mass not to be detached from the platform is:
