Two identical balls A and B each of mass 0.1 kg are attached to two identical massless springs. The spring mass system is constrained to move inside a rigid smooth pipe bent in the form of a circle as shown in the figure. The pipe is fixed in a horizontal plane. The centres of the balls can move in a circle of radius 0.06 m. Each spring has a natural length of 0.06$\pi$ m and force constant 0.1N/m. Initially both the balls are displaced by an angle $\theta = \pi /6$ radian with respect to the diameter $PQ$ of the circle and released from rest. The frequency of oscillation of the ball B is
A$\pi \,Hz$
B$\frac{1}{\pi }Hz$
C$2\pi \,Hz$
D$\frac{1}{{2\pi }}Hz$

B$\frac{1}{\pi }Hz$
b (b)As here two masses are connected by two springs, this problem is equivalent to the oscillation of a reduced mass ${m_r}$ of a spring of effective spring constant.
$T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{{m_r}}}{{{K_{eff.}}}}} $
Here ${m_r} = \frac{{{m_1}{m_2}}}{{{m_1} + {m_2}}} = \frac{m}{2}$ ==> ${K_{eff.}} = {K_1} + {K_2} = 2K$
$n = \frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{{K_{eff.}}}}{{{m_r}}}} = \frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{2K}}{m} \times 2} $$ = \frac{1}{\pi }\sqrt {\frac{K}{m}} = \frac{1}{\pi }\sqrt {\frac{{0.1}}{{0.1}}} = \frac{1}{\pi }Hz$

Two particles undergo $SHM$ along parallel lines with the same time period $(T)$ and equal amplitudes. At a particular instant, one particle is at its extreme position while the other is at its mean position. They move in the same direction. They will cross each other after a further time
A mass $M$ is suspended from a spring of negligible mass. The spring is pulled a little and then released so that the mass executes $S.H.M.$ of time period $T$. If the mass is increased by m, the time period becomes $5T/3$. Then the ratio of $m/M$ is
In simple harmonic motion, the total mechanical energy of given system is E. If mass of oscillating particle $P$ is doubled then the new energy of the system for same amplitude is:

A particle is executing $S.H.M.$ with time period $T^{\prime}$. If time period of its total mechanical energy is $T$ then $\frac{T^{\prime}}{T}$ is ........
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
Infinite springs with force constant $k$, $2k$, $4k$ and $8k$.... respectively are connected in series. The effective force constant of the spring will be
A particle in $SHM $ is described by the displacement equation $x(t) = A\cos (\omega t + \theta ).$ If the initial $(t = 0)$ position of the particle is $1 \,cm$ and its initial velocity is $\pi $cm/s, what is its amplitude? The angular frequency of the particle is $\pi {s^{ - 1}}$
