On a frictionless horizontal plane, a bob of mass $m=0.1 \mathrm{~kg}$ is attached to a spring with natural length $l_{0}=0.1 \mathrm{~m}$. The spring constant is $k_{1}=0.009 \,\mathrm{Nm}^{-1}$ when the length of the spring $l>l_{0}$ and is $k_{2}=0.016 \,\mathrm{Nm}^{-1}$ when $l < l_{0}$. Initially the bob is released from $l=$ $0.15 \mathrm{~m}$. Assume that Hooke's law remains valid throughout the motion. If the time period of the full oscillation is $T=(n \pi) s$, then the integer closest to $n$ is __________.

A student performed the experiment to measure the speed of sound in air using resonance air-column method. Two resonances in the air-column were obtained by lowering the water level. The resonance with the shorter air-column is the first resonance and that with the longer air-column is the second resonance. Then,
MCQ (Single Correct Answer)
A small block is connected to one end of a massless spring of un-stretched length 4.9 m. The other end of the spring (see the figure) is fixed. The system lies on a horizontal frictionless surface. The block is stretched by 0.2 m and released from rest at t = 0. It then executes simple harmonic motion with angular frequency $$\omega$$ = ($$\pi$$/3) rad/s. Simultaneously, at t = 0, a small pebble is projected with speed v from point P at an angle of 45$$^\circ$$ as shown in the figure. Point O is at a horizontal distance of 10 m from O. If the pebble hits the block at t = 1 s, the value of v is (take g = 10 m/s2)
