A mass 'm' is tied to one end of a spring and whirled in a horizontal circle with constant angular velocity. The elongation in the spring is 1 ~cm . If the angular speed is doubled, the elongation in the spring is 6 ~cm . The original length of the spring is
Options
- A1. 3 Cm
- B9 Cm
- C6 Cn
- D12 Cm
Correct answer
B. 9 Cm
Step-by-step solution
Let be the original length of the spring. Let the initial angular velocity be and the corresponding elongation e ₁=1 ~cm . When the angular velocity is doubled the elongation e₂=6 ~cm . If k is the spring constant then we have array l m ( +e₁ ) ²= ke ₁ and m ( +e₂ )(2 )²= ke ₂ or m ( +e₂ ) 4 ²= ke ₂ array Dividing Eq(1) by Eq(2), we get +e₁ 4 ( +e₂ ) = e₁ e₂ solving we get =9 ~cm
