The time period of mass suspended from a spring is TT. If the spring is cut into four equal parts and the same mass is suspended from one of the parts, then the new time period will be:

Options

  1. AT4\frac{T}{4}
  2. BTT
  3. CT2\frac{T}{2}
  4. D2T2 T

Correct answer

C. T2\frac{T}{2}

Step-by-step solution

Let K=K= force constant of spring and K′=K^{\prime}= force constant of each part then \begin{gathered}\frac{1}{K}=\frac{4}{K^{\prime}}\\ \Rightarrow \quad K^{\prime}=4 K \\ \therefore \text{ Time period }=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{4 K}}\\ =\frac{1}{2} \times2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{4 K}}=\frac{T}{2} \end{gathered}
