A thin uniform vertical rod of mass and length pivoted at point is shown in the given figure. The system is placed on smooth horizontal table. The combined stiffness of the springs is equal to The mass of the spring is negligible. The frequency of small oscillation is




Important Questions on Linear and Angular Simple Harmonic Motion
A block is connected to spring and performs simple harmonic motion with a time period of Another block rests on The coefficient of static friction between and is the maximum amplitude of oscillation which the system can have so that there is no relative motion between and is (take )

Two springs, each of unstretched length but having different spring constants and are attached to two opposite faces of a small block of mass kept on a smooth horizontal surface as shown in the given figure.
The outer ends of the two springs are now attached to two pins and whose locations are shown in the figure. As a result of this, the block acquires a new equilibrium position. The block has been displaced by small amount from its equilibrium position and released to perform simple harmonic motion; then

The coefficient of friction between block of mass and is . There is no friction between a block of mass and inclined plane. The maximum amplitude of two block system for which there is no relative motion between both the blocks-


One end of a spring of force constant is fixed to a vertical wall and the other to a body of mass resting on a smooth horizontal surface. There is another wall at a distance from the body. The spring is then compressed by and released. The time taken to strike the wall from the instant of release is (given


A uniform stick of mass and length is pivoted at its centre. Its ends are tied to two springs each of force constant In the position shown in figure, the springs are in their natural length. When the string is displaced through a small angle and released, the stick
