The time period of mass suspended from a spring is . 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
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Let force constant of spring and 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}
