At the maximum extension of spring, the entire energy of the system would be stored as the potential energy of the spring. Let the amplitude be A The angular frequency of a spring-mass system is always equal to  Therefore

The amplitude of oscillation decreases by 50 % in one oscillation i.e. in one time period. For damping factor b we have   x=x0/2 t=0.77s m=750 kg
Mass of automobile (m) = 3000 kg There are a total of four springs. Compression in each spring, x = 15 cm = 0.15 m Let the spring constant of each spring be k
Let the initial volume and pressure of the chamber be V and P. Let the ball be pressed by a distance x. This will change the volume by an amount  ax. Let the change in pressure be  Let the Bulk's modulus of air be K. This pressure variation would try to restore the position of the ball. Since force is restoring in nature displacement and acceleration due to the force would be in different...
Let the height of each mercury column be h. The total length of mercury in both the columns = 2h. Let the cross-sectional area of the mercury column be A. Let the density of mercury be  When either of the mercury columns dips by a distance x, the total difference between the two columns becomes 2x. Weight of this difference is  This weight drives the rest of the entire column to the original...
Let the cork be displaced by a small distance x in downwards direction from its equilibrium position where it is floating. The extra volume of fluid displaced by the cork is Ax Taking the downwards direction as positive we have Comparing with a=-kx we have
Acceleration due to gravity = g (in downwards direction) Centripetal acceleration due to the circular movement of the car = ac  (in the horizontal direction) Effective acceleration is The time period is T'
While free falling the effective value of g inside the cabin will be zero and therefore the frequency of oscillation of a simple pendulum would be zero i.e. it would not vibrate at all because of the absence of a restoring force.
The watch must be using an electrical circuit or a spring system to tell the time and therefore free falling would not affect the time his watch predicts.
In reaching the result  we have assumed sin(x/l)=x/l. This assumption is only true for very small values of x . Therefore it is obvious that once x takes larger values we will have deviations from the above-mentioned value.
In case of spring, the spring constant is independent of the mass attached whereas in case of a pendulum k is proportional to m making k/m constant and thus the time period comes out to be independent of the mass of the body attached.
The time period of a simple pendulum of length l executing S.H.M is given by ge = 9.8 m s-2 gm = 1.7 m s-2 The time period of the pendulum on the surface of Earth is Te = 3.5 s The time period of the pendulum on the surface of the moon is Tm
