A particle of mass mis attached to four springs with spring constant k,k,2k and 2k as shown in the figure. Four springs are attached to the four corners of a square and a particle is placed at the center. If the particle is pushed slightly towards any side of the square and released, the period of oscillation will be

  1. A 2πm3k
  2. B 2πm32k
  3. C 2πm6k
  4. D 2πm2k
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2πm32k

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

when the mass is displaced in the upward direction then the forces acting ar as shown in the diagram, F1=-kx=F2 & F3=-2kx=F4 Referring to second diagram, FR=F1+F32+F2+F42=32kx But since the particle performing SHM, ∴ FR=mω2x ∴ mω2x=32kx ∴…
