Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedPhysicsOscillations
A mass m on the end of an ideal spring stretches the spring to a length when at rest. The mass is now set into motion so that it executes up and down vibrations while swinging back and forth as a simple pendulum. The mass moves in a figure eight pattern in a vertical plane a shown in the figure. The force constant of the spring assuming small oscillations is
Options
- Amg
- B2 mg k
- C4 mg
- Dmg 2
Correct answer
C. 4 mg
Step-by-step solution
For vertical oscillation time period T ₁=2 m k /ldots(i) For the transverse oscillation period of simple pendulum T₂=2 g But 2 ~T ₁= T ₂ k = 4 mg
