    Two particles of mass $m$ are constrained to move along two horizontal frictionless rails that make an angle $2\theta $ with respect to each other. They are connected by a spring with spring constant $k$ . The angular frequency of small oscillations for the motion where the two masses always stay parallel to each other (that is the distance between the meeting point of the rails and each particle is equal) is

    Two masses, both equal to $100\, g$, are suspended at the ends of identical light strings of length $\lambda = 1.0\, m$, attached to the same point on the ceiling (see figure). At time $t = 0$, they are simultaneously released from rest, one at angle $\theta_1 = 1^o$, the other at angle $\theta_2 = 2^o$ from the vertical. The masses will collide

    A particle excutes $SHM$ on a straight line path. The amplitude of oscillation is $2\,cm$. When the displacement of the particle from the mean position is $1\,cm$, the numerical value of magnitude of acceleration is equal to the numerical value of magnitude of velocity. The frequency of $SHM$ is (in $second^{-1}$)

    Assume that the earth is a solid sphere of uniform density and a tunnel is dug along its diameter throughout the earth. It is found that when a particle is released in this tunnel, it executes a simple harmonic motion. The mass of the particle is $100 g$. The time period of the motion of the particle will be (approximately) (take $g =10\,ms ^{-2}$, radius of earth $=6400\,km$ )
