JEE Advanced · Physics · 15. Oscillations

The mass \(M\) shown in the figure oscillates in simple harmonic motion with amplitude \(A\). The amplitude of the point \(P\) is

  1. A \(\frac{k_a A}{k_2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{k_2 A}{k_1}\)
  3. C \(\frac{k_1 A}{k_1+k_2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{k_2 A}{k_1+k_2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{k_2 A}{k_1+k_2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(x_1+x_2=A\) and \(k_1 x_1=k_2 x_2\) or \(\frac{x_1}{x_2}=\frac{k_2}{k_1}\)
Solving these equations, we get
\(
x_1=\left(\frac{k_2}{k_1+k_2}\right) A
