Time period of a spring-mass system is T . If this spring is cut into two parts whose lengths are in the ratio 1:3 and the same mass is attached to the longer part, the new time period will be
Options
- A3 2 T
- BT 3
- C3 T 2
- D3 T
Correct answer
C. 3 T 2
Step-by-step solution
T = 2 π m k When spring is cut in the ratio 1 : 3, the force constant of the longer part is 4 k 3 . ∴    T' = 2 π 3 m 4 k = 3 2 T
