Four massless spring whose force constant are `2k , 2k, k` and `2k` respectively are attached to a mass `M` kept on a frictions plate (as shown in figure) if the mass `M` is displaced in the horizontal direction then the frequency of oscillation of the system is

A

`(1)/(2pi) sqrt((k)/(4M))`

B

`(1)/(2pi) sqrt((4k)/(M))`

C

`(1)/(2pi) sqrt((k)/(7M))`

D

`(1)/(2pi) sqrt((7k)/(M))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

The spring on left side having spring constant of `2k` each are in saries equvalent constant is `(1)/(((1)/(2k) + (1)/(2k))) = k`. The two spring on right hand side of mass `M` are in parallel Their effective spring constant is `(k + 2k) = 3k`.
Equivalent spring constant of value `k` and `3k` are in parallel and their and their net value of spring constant of all the four spring is `k + 3k = 4k`
:. Frequency of mass is `n = (1)/(2pi) sqrt((4k)/(M))`.

    Two springs of force constants k_(1) and k_(2) are joined together and the combination is attached to a mass m resting on a frictionless table at one end and clamped to a fixed support at the other. Show the frequency of oscillation of the mass is f = 1/(2pi)sqrt((k_(1)k_(2))/((k_(1) + k-(2)))m [Hint: Let the mass be displaced by x and the clamped end of the second spring by x^(') . Then mf = -k_(1)(x-x^(')) . Considering the first spring and the mass as a single system we have mf = -k_(2)x^(') ]
