AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Oscillations

On a smooth inclined plane, a block of mass \(M\) is fixed to two rigid supports using two springs, as shown in the figure. If each spring has spring constant \(k\), then the period of oscillation of the block is
(Neglect the masses of the springs)

  1. A \(2 \pi\left(\frac{\mathrm{M}}{2 \mathrm{k}}\right)^{1 / 2}\)
  2. B \(2 \pi\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{M}}{\mathrm{k}}\right)^{1 / 2}\)
  3. C \(2 \pi\left(\frac{\mathrm{Mg} \sin \theta}{2 \mathrm{k}}\right)^{1 / 2}\)
  4. D \(2 \pi\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{Mg}}{\mathrm{k}}\right)^{1 / 2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2 \pi\left(\frac{\mathrm{M}}{2 \mathrm{k}}\right)^{1 / 2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(k_{eff} = k + k = 2k\) \(T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{M}{k_{eff}}}\) \(T = 2\pi\left(\frac{M}{2k}\right)^{1/2}\)
