JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 13. oscillations

Two massless springs with spring constants \(2\,k\) and \(9\,k\), carry \(50\, g\) and \(100 \,g\) masses at their free ends. These two masses oscillate vertically such that their maximum velocities are equal. Then, the ratio of their respective amplitudes will be

  1. A \(1: 2\)
  2. B \(3: 2\)
  3. C \(3: 1\)
  4. D \(2: 3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3: 2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(V _{\max }=\omega A\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{ A _{1}}{ A _{2}}=\frac{\omega_{2}}{\omega_{1}}=\sqrt{\frac{9}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}}=\frac{3}{2}\)
