JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 13. oscillations

A mass \(m\) is attached to two springs as shown in figure. The spring constants of two springs are \(K _1\) and \(K _2\). For the frictionless surface, the time period of oscillation of mass \(m\) is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{ K _1+ K _2}{ m }}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{ K _1- K _2}{ m }}\)
  3. C \(2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{ m }{ K _1+ K _2}}\)
  4. D \(2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{K_1-K_2}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{ m }{ K _1+ K _2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

On displacing \(m\) to right by \(x\) \(F =-\left( k _1 x+ k _2 x \right)=-\left( k _1+ k _2\right) x\) \(a =\frac{ F }{ m }=-\left(\frac{ k _1+ k _2}{ m }\right) x =-\omega^2 x\)…
