NEET2004PhysicsOscillationsActual
Two springs are connected to a block of mass M placed on a frictionless surface as shown in the figure. If both the springs have a spring constant k , the frequency of oscillation of the block is
Options
- A1 2 k M
- B1 2 k 2 M
- C1 2 2 k M
- D1 2 M k .
Correct answer
B. 1 2 k 2 M
Step-by-step solution
The spring constant of spring connected in series is equal to k_s= k₁ k₂ k₁+k₂ = k 2 (F_ or k=k₂=k ) Thus frequency of oscillation of given system is f= 1 2 k 2 m
