NTA Abhyas JEE Main2020PhysicsOscillationsPractice
A block of mass m is attached to a cart of mass 4 m through spring of spring constant k as shown in the figure. Friction is absent everywhere. The time period of oscillations of the system, when spring is compressed and then released, is
Options
- Aπ m k
- B2 π m k
- C2 π 5 m 2 k
- D4 π m 5 k
Correct answer
D. 4 π m 5 k
Step-by-step solution
It is equivalent to a system as shown below,   T = 2 π m reduced k ∴       T = 2 π m × 4 m 5 m k =    2 π 4 m 5 k    =    4 π m 5 k
