A string of length 40 cm and weighing 10 g is attached to a spring at one end and to a fixed wall at the other end. The spring has a spring constant of `160 N m^-1` and is stretched by 1-0 cm. If a wave pulse is produced on the string near the wall, how much time will it take to reach the spring ?

L=40 cm, mass=10gm
………mass per unit length
`=10/40=1/4(gm/cm)`
`Spring costant=k=160N/m`
Deflection =x=1cm`
`=0.01m`
`rarr T=kx=160x0.01`
`=1.6N=6xx10^4 dyne`
Again `v=sqrt((T/m)0=sqrt(((16x10^4)/(1/4)))`
`=8xx10^2cm/s=800cm/s`
`:. time taken by the pulse to reach the spring. `t=40/800=1/20=0.05sec`

Figure 14.26 (a) shows a spring of force constant k clamped rigidly at one end and a mass m attached to its free end. A force F applied at the free end stretches the spring. Figure 14.26 (b) shows the same spring with both ends free and attached to a mass m at either end. Each end of the spring in Fig. 14.26(b) is stretched by the same force F. If the mass in Fig. (a) and the two masses in Fig. (b) are released, what is the period of oscillation in each case ?

A uniform thin cylindrical disk of mass M and radius R is attaached to two identical massless springs of spring constatn k which are fixed to the wall as shown in the figure. The springs are attached to the axle of the disk symmetrically on either side at a distance d from its centre. The axle is massless and both the springs and the axle are in horizontal plane. the unstretched length of each spring is L.

One end of a light spring of natural length 4m and spring constant 170 N/m is fixed on a rigid wall and the other is fixed to a smooth ring of mass (1)/(2) kg which can slide without friction in a verical rod fixed at a distance 4 m from the wall. Initially the spring makes an angle of 37^(@) with the horizontal as shown in figure. When the system is released from rest, find the speed of the ring when the spring becomes horizontal.
