NEET2016PhysicsOscillationsActual
A mass M is suspended from a spring of negligible mass. The spring is pulled a little and then released so that the mass executes simple harmonic oscillations with a time period T . If the mass is increased by m , then the time period becomes ( 5 4 T ) . The ratio of m M is
Options
- A9 / 16
- B5 / 4
- C25 / 16
- D4 / 5
Correct answer
A. 9 / 16
Step-by-step solution
T=2 M K and T₁=2 M+m K or T₁ T = M+m M or 5 4 = (1+ m M )^ 1 2 or m M = 25 16 -1= 9 16 ( T₁= 5 4 T )
