The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the principles of simple harmonic motion and the properties of springs. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Time Period Formula**: The time period \( T \) of a block attached to a spring is given by the formula: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} \] where \( m \) is the mass of the block and \( k \) is the spring constant. 2. **Relationship Between Spring Constant and Length**: The spring constant \( k \) is inversely proportional to the length \( L \) of the spring: \[ k \propto \frac{1}{L} \] This means that if the length of the spring decreases, the spring constant increases. 3. **Cutting the Spring**: The spring is cut into two parts in the ratio \( 2:3 \). If we assume the total length of the spring is \( 5L \), then: - Length of the smaller part \( L_1 = 2L \) - Length of the larger part \( L_2 = 3L \) 4. **Finding the Spring Constant for the Smaller Part**: Since the spring constant \( k \) is inversely proportional to the length, we can express the spring constant for the smaller part: \[ k_1 = \frac{k_0 \cdot 5L}{2L} = \frac{5k_0}{2} \] where \( k_0 \) is the spring constant of the original spring. 5. **Calculating the Time Period for the Smaller Part**: Now we can find the time period \( T_1 \) for the smaller part of the spring: \[ T_1 = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k_1}} = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{\frac{5k_0}{2}}} = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{2m}{5k_0}} \] 6. **Relating to the Original Time Period**: The original time period \( T_0 \) is: \[ T_0 = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k_0}} \] To express \( T_1 \) in terms of \( T_0 \): \[ T_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}} T_0 \] ### Final Answer: The time period of the block with the smaller part of the spring is: \[ T_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}} T_0 \]

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the principles of simple harmonic motion and the properties of springs. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Time Period Formula**: The time period \( T \) of a block attached to a spring is given by the formula: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} ...
