Two identical blocks P and Q have mass m...

Two identical blocks `P` and `Q` have mass `m` each. They are attached to two identical springs initially unstretched. Now the left spring (along with `P)` is compressed by `A//2` and the right spring (along with `Q`) is compressed by `A`. Both the blocks are released simultaneously. They collide perfectly inelastically. Initially time period of both the blocks was `T`.

The time period of oscillation of combined mass is

A

`(1)/(2) kA^(2)`

B

`(1)/(4) kA^(2)`

C

`(1)/(8) kA^(2)`

D

`(1)/(16) kA^(2)`

A block of mass 'm' collides perfectly inelastically with another identical block connected to a spring of of force constant 'K'. The amplitude of resulting SHM will be

(i) In the shown arrangement, both springs are relaxed. The coefficient of friction between m_(2) " and " m_(1) is mu . There is no friction between m_(1) and the horizontal surface. The blocks are displaced slightly and released. They move together without slipping on each other. (a) If the small displacement of blocks is x then find the magnitude of acceleration of m_(2) . What is time period of oscillations ? (b) Find the ratio (m_(1))/(m_(2)) so that the frictional force on m_(2) acts in the direction of its displacement from the mean position. (ii) Two small blocks of same mass m are connected to two identical springs as shown in fig. Both springs have stiffness K and they are in their natural length when the blocks are at point O. Both the blocks are pushed so that one of the springs get compressed by a distance a and the other by a//2 . Both the blocks are released from this position simultaneously. Find the time period of oscillations of the blocks if - (neglect the dimensions of the blocks) (a) Collisions between them are elastic. (b) Collisions between them are perfectly inelastic.

In the figure, the block of mass m, attached to the spring of stiffness k is in correct with the completely elastic wall, and the compression in the spring is e. The spring is compressed further by e by displacing the block towards left and is then released. If the collision between the block and the wall is completely eleastic then the time period of oscillation of the block will be
