A mass $m$ is suspended separately by two different springs of spring constant $K_1$ and $K_2$ gives the time-period ${t_1}$ and ${t_2}$ respectively. If same mass $m$ is connected by both springs as shown in figure then time-period $t$ is given by the relation
  • A$t = {t_1} + {t_2}$
  • B$t = \frac{{{t_1}.{t_2}}}{{{t_1} + {t_2}}}$
  • C${t^2} = {t_1}^2 + {t_2}^2$
  • D${t^{ - 2}} = {t_1}^{ - 2} + {t_2}^{ - 2}$

    A mass $m = 1.0\,kg$ is put on a flat pan attached to a vertical spring fixed on the ground. The mass of the spring and the pan is negligible. When pressed slightly and released, the mass executes simple harmonic motion. The spring constant is $500\,N/m.$ What is the amplitude $A$ of the motion, so that the mass $m$ tends to get detached from the pan ? (Take $g = 10\,m/s^2$ ). The spring is stiff enough so that it does not get distorted during the motion.

    A uniform cylinder of length $L$ and mass $M$ having cross-sectional area $A$ is suspended, with its length vertical, from a fixed point by a massless spring, such that it is half submerged in a liquid of density $\sigma $ at equilibrium position. When the cylinder is given a downward push and released, it starts oscillating vertically with a small amplitude. The time period $T$ of the oscillations of the cylinder will be
