BITSAT Physics Question (2024) — Solution

Question

Five identical springs are used in the three configurations as shown in figure. The time periods of vertical oscillations in configurations (a), (b) and (c) are in the ratio.

Options

  1. A. 1: 2 : 1 2
  2. B. 2: 2 : 1 2
  3. C. 1 2 : 2: 1
  4. D. 2: 1 2 : 1

Answer

A. 1: 2 : 1 2

Step-by-step solution

aligned & T_a=2 m k \\ & T_b=2 m (k / 2) \\ & T_c=2 m 2 k \\ & T_a: T_b: T_c=1: 2 : 1 2 aligned
