A light spring is suspended with mass m₁ at its lower end and its upper end fixed to a rigid support. The mass is pulled down a short distance and then released. The period of oscillation is T second. When a mass m ₂ is added to m₁ and the system is made to oscillate, the period is found to be 3 2 ~T . The ratio m ₁: m ₂ is
Options
- A2:3
- B3:4
- C4:5
- D5:6
Correct answer
C. 4:5
Step-by-step solution
The time period is T m array ll & T 3 = m ₁ m ₁+ m ₂ & 2 3 = m ₁ m ₁+ m ₂ & 4 9 = m ₁ ~m ₁+ m ₂ & 4 ~m ₁+4 ~m ₂=9 ~m ₁ & 5 ~m ₁=4 ~m ₂ & m ₁ ~m ₂ = 4 5 array
