A spring of force constant k is cut into 4 equal parts. The spring constant of each piece become_______ times and time period will become______ times.

  1. [5, 1/2]

  2. [4, 1/2]

  3. [7, 1/2]

  4. [4, 1/3]


Correct Option: B

When two blocks connected by a spring move towards each other under mutual interaction:

  1. Their velocities are equal and opposite

  2. Their accelerations are equal and opposite

  3. The forces acting on them are equal and opposite

  4. Their momenta are equal and opposite.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

If we take the two blocks plus spring as the system there is no external force acting on this system.
The accelerations will be equal and opposite if masses are equal. Since the forces are internal, they will be equal and opposite.

Two springs have their force constants ${ K } _ { 1 }$ and ${ K } _ { 2 }.$ Both are stretched till their elastic energies are equal. Then,ratio of stretching forces ${ K } _ { 1 } / { K } _ { 2 }$ is equal to:

  1. $K _ { 1 } / K _ { 2 }$

  2. $\mathbf { K } _ { 2 } : \mathbf { K } _ { 1 }$

  3. $\sqrt { K _ { 1 } } : \sqrt { K _ { 2 } }$

  4. $\mathbf { K } _ { 2 } ^ { 2 } : \mathbf { K } _ { 2 } ^ { 2 }$


Correct Option: C

Correct Option: A

A string fixed at both ends vibrates in a resonant mode with separation of $6.0$cm between the consecutive nodes. For the next to next higher resonant frequency this separation is reduced by $2.0$cm. The length of the spring is

Correct Option: A

One end of a light spring of force constant K is fixed to ceiling the other end is fixed to block of mass M initially the spring is relaxed the work done by the external agent to lower the Hanging body of mass M slowly till it comes to equilibrium is

  1. $3 m^2 g^2/ 2k$

  2. $m^2 g^2/ 2k$

  3. $-3 m^2 g^2/ 2k$

  4. $- m^2 g^2/ 2k$

  1. 25 cm

  2. 50 cm

  3. 67 cm

  4. 90 cm


Correct Option: B

Two identical springs are fixed at one end and masses $1$ $kg$ and $4$ $kg$ are suspended at their other ends. They are both stretched down from their mean position and let go simultaneously. If they are in the same phase after every $4$ seconds then the springs constant $k$ is 

  1. $\pi \dfrac { N }{ m } $

  2. ${ \pi }^{ 2 }\dfrac { N }{ m } $

  3. $2\pi \dfrac { N }{ m } $

  4. $given$ $data$ $is$ $insufficient$


Correct Option: C

A body is attached to the lower end of a vertical spiral spring and it is gradually lowered to its equilibrium position.This stretches the spring by a length d.If the same body attached to the same spring is allowed to fall suddenly, what would be the maximum stretching in this case?

  2. 2d

  3. 3d

  4. 1/2d
