Important Questions on Laws of Motion


A mass is attached to two springs as shown in figure. The spring constants of two springs are and For the frictionless surface, the time period of oscillation of mass is


The position co-ordinates of a particle moving in a coordinate system is given by
and
The speed of the particle is:






Two identical springs are connected to mass as shown . If the period of the configuration in (i) is , the period of the configuration (ii) is:
I
II




An ideal gas enclosed in a vertical cylindrical container supports a freely moving piston of mass . The piston and the cylinder have equal cross-sectional area . When the piston is in equilibrium, the volume of the gas is and its pressure is . The piston is slightly displaced from the equilibrium position and released. Assuming that the system is completely isolated from its surrounding, the piston executes a simple harmonic motion with frequency
[Assume the system is in space.]





As shown in the figure, an iron block of volume is attached to a spring of unstretched length and hanging to the ceiling of a roof. The spring gets stretched by . This block is removed and another block of iron of volume is now attached to the same spring and kept on a frictionless incline plane of inclination. The distance of the block from the top along the incline at equilibrium is

A block of mass is suspended through two spring balances with negligible mass as shown in figure. What will be the readings in the upper and lower balance respectively ?
