a The two springs are in parallel.
$f=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{K_{1}+K_{2}}{m}}$ $...(i)$
$f^{\prime}=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{4 K_{1}+4 K_{2}}{m}}$
$=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{4\left(K_{1}+4 K_{2}\right)}{m}}=2\left(\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{K_{1}+K_{2}}{m}}\right)$
$=2 f \quad$ from eqn. $(i)$

A ring is hung on a nail. It can oscillate, without slipping or sliding $(i)$ in its plane with a time period $T_{1}$ and, $(ii)$ back and forth in a direction perpendicular to its plane, with a period $T _{2}$. the ratio $\frac{ T _{1}}{ T _{2}}$ will be
The amplitude of a simple pendulum, oscillating in air with a small spherical bob, decreases from $10\, cm$ to $8\, cm$ in $40\, seconds$ . Assuming that Stokes law is valid, and ratio of the coefficient of viscosity of air to that of carbon dioxide is $1.3$ . The time in which amplitude of this pendulum will reduce from $10\, cm$ to $5\, cm$ in carbon dioxide will be close to ..... $s$ $(ln\, 5 = 1.601,ln\, 2 = 0 .693)$
If the time period of a two meter long simple pendulum is $2\, s$, the acceleration due to gravity at the place where pendulum is executing $S.H.M.$ is
The time period of a mass suspended from a spring is $T$. If the spring is cut into four equal parts and the same mass is suspended from one of the parts, then the new time period will be
A trolley of mass $m_1$ is placed on horizontal rigid pair of rails at same height. A mass $m_2$ is suspended to the trolley vertically by me ans of a ideal massless rope. The rope hangs between rails without touching them. Trolley can move along smooth rails but can't move in any other direction. Suspended mass is given small oscillation and perform $SHM$ after displacing small from stable equilibrium position in two ways, first perpendicular to the rails and second parallel to the rails. The ratio of time period of these (second case to first case) two $SHM's$ is
Two identical springs have the same force constant $73.5 \,Nm ^{-1}$. The elongation produced in each spring in three cases shown in Figure-$1$, Figure-$2$ and Figure-$3$ are $\left(g=9.8 \,ms ^{-2}\right)$
The bob of a pendulum was released from a horizontal position. The length of the pendulum is $10 \mathrm{~m}$. If it dissipates $10 \%$ of its initial energy against air resistance, the speed with which the bob arrives at the lowest point is : [Use, $\mathrm{g}: 10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$ ]
The height of liquid column in a $U$ tube is $0.3$ meter. If the liquid in one of the limbs is depressed and then released, then the time period of liquid column will be $.......\,sec$
Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are suspended together by a massless spring of constant $K$. When the masses are in equilibrium, $m_1$ is removed without disturbing the system. The amplitude of oscillations is
One end of a long metallic wire of length $L$ is tied to the ceiling. The other end is tied to massless spring of spring constant $K$. A mass $ m$ hangs freely from the free end of the spring. The area of cross-section and Young's modulus of the wire are $A$ and $Y$ respectively. If the mass is slightly pulled down and released, it will oscillate with a time period $T$ equal to
