A mass 'M' is suspended from a spring of negligible mass. The spring is pulled a little and then released so that the mass executes S.H.M. of period T . If the mass is increased by 'm', the time period becomes 5 ~T ^ 3 . What is the ratio ( M m ) ?
Options
- A25 9
- B16 9
- C9 25
- D9 16
Correct answer
D. 9 16
Step-by-step solution
T=2 M k ; 5 T 3 =2 M+m k 5 3 2 M k =2 M+m k 25 9 M k = M+m k 25 9 M=M+m Dividing by M, 25 9 =1+ m M m M = 25 9 -1= 16 9 M m = 9 16
