JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 13. oscillations
Two light identical springs of spring constant \(k\) are attached horizontally at the two ends of a uniform horizontal rod \(AB\) of length \(l\) and mass \(m\). the rod is pivoted at its centre \(‘O’\) and can rotate freely in horizontal plane. The other ends of the two springs are fixed to rigid supports as shown in figure. The rod is gently pushed through a small angle and released. The frequency of resulting oscillation is

- A \(\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{3k}}{m}} \)
- B \(\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{2k}}{m}} \)
- C \(\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{6k}}{m}} \)
- D \(\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{k}}{m}} \)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{6k}}{m}} \)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Torque on rod at displacement \(\theta\) from mean position \(\theta\) is very small. \(x=\frac{L}{2} \theta\) \(\tau=2 k x \frac{L}{2}=2 k \frac{L^{2}}{4} \theta=\frac{k L^{2}}{2} \theta\) Now, \(\tau=1 \alpha\)…
