A mass $$M,$$ attached to a horizontal spring, executes $$S.H.M.$$ with amplitude $${A_1}.$$ When the mass $$M$$ passes through its mean position then a smaller mass $$m$$ is placed over it and both of them move together with amplitude $${A_2}.$$ The ratio of $$\left( {{{{A_1}} \over {{A_2}}}} \right)$$ is :

If $$x,$$ $$v$$ and $$a$$ denote the displacement, the velocity and the acceleration of a particle executing simple harmonic motion of time period $$T,$$ then, which of the following does not change with time?

A point mass oscillates along the $$x$$-axis according to the law $$x = {x_0}\,\cos \left( {\omega t - \pi /4} \right).$$ If the acceleration of the particle is written as $$a = A\,\cos \left( {\omega t + \delta } \right),$$ then

Two springs, of force constant $${k_1}$$ and $${k_2}$$ are connected to a mass $$m$$ as shown. The frequency of oscillation of the mass is $$f.$$ If both $${k_1}$$ and $${k_2}$$ are made four times their original values, the frequency of oscillation becomes
