The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question regarding the spring-block system, we will break down the problem step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion and Reason - **Assertion**: If the length of the spring and the mass of the block are both halved, then the angular frequency of oscillations will remain unchanged. - **Reason**: Angular frequency is given by the formula \( \omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} \). ### Step 2: Analyze the Angular Frequency Formula The angular frequency \( \omega \) is defined as: \[ \omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} \] where \( k \) is the spring constant and \( m \) is the mass of the block. ### Step 3: Determine the Effect of Halving the Length of the Spring - The spring constant \( k \) is inversely proportional to the natural length of the spring. If the length of the spring is halved, the spring constant will double: \[ k' = 2k \] where \( k' \) is the new spring constant after halving the length. ### Step 4: Determine the Effect of Halving the Mass - If the mass of the block is halved, the new mass will be: \[ m' = \frac{m}{2} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the New Angular Frequency Now, substituting the new values of \( k \) and \( m \) into the angular frequency formula: \[ \omega' = \sqrt{\frac{k'}{m'}} = \sqrt{\frac{2k}{\frac{m}{2}}} = \sqrt{\frac{2k \cdot 2}{m}} = \sqrt{\frac{4k}{m}} = 2\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} = 2\omega \] ### Step 6: Conclusion From the calculations, we find that the new angular frequency \( \omega' \) is double the original angular frequency \( \omega \): \[ \omega' = 2\omega \] Thus, the assertion that the angular frequency remains unchanged is **false**. The reason that angular frequency is given by \( \omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} \) is **true**. ### Final Answer - **Assertion**: False - **Reason**: True - Therefore, the correct option is that the assertion is false, and the reason is true. ---
