A spring of force constant \(k\) is cut into lengths of ratio \(1:2:3\). They are connected in series and the new force constant is \(k'\). Then they are connected in parallel and the force constant is \(k''\). Then \(k':k''\) is:

1.	\(1:9\)	2.	\(1:11\)
3.	\(1:14\)	4.	\(1:6\)

A pendulum is hung from the roof of a sufficiently high building and is moving freely to and fro like a simple harmonic oscillator. The acceleration of the bob of the pendulum is \(20\text{ m/s}^2\) at a distance of \(5\text{ m}\) from the mean position. The time period of oscillation is:
1. \(2\pi \text{ s}\)
2. \(\pi \text{ s}\)
3. \(2 \text{ s}\)
4. \(1 \text{ s}\)

A particle is executing a simple harmonic motion. Its maximum acceleration is \(\alpha\) and maximum velocity is \(\beta.\) Then its time period of vibration will be:
1. \(\dfrac {\beta^2}{\alpha^2}\)
2. \(\dfrac {\beta}{\alpha}\)
3. \(\dfrac {\beta^2}{\alpha}\)
4. \(\dfrac {2\pi \beta}{\alpha}\)

When two displacements are represented by \(y_1 = a \text{sin}(\omega t)\) and \(y_2 = b\text{cos}(\omega t)\) are superimposed, then the motion is:

A particle is executing SHM along a straight line. Its velocities at distances \(x_1\) and \(x_2\) from the mean position are \(v_1\) and \(v_2\), respectively. Its time period is:

The oscillation of a body on a smooth horizontal surface is represented by the equation, \(X=A \text{cos}(\omega t)\),
