JEE Advanced2009PhysicsOscillationsActual
The mass M shown in the figure oscillates in simple harmonic motion with amplitude A . The amplitude of the point P is
Options
- Ak_a A k₂
- Bk₂ A k₁
- Ck₁ A k₁+k₂
- Dk₂ A k₁+k₂
Correct answer
D. k₂ A k₁+k₂
Step-by-step solution
x₁+x₂=A and k₁ x₁=k₂ x₂ or x₁ x₂ = k₂ k₁ Solving these equations, we get x₁= ( k₂ k₁+k₂ ) A
