Two springs of spring constant \(k_1\) and \(k_2\) are connected by a mass \(m\) as shown in the figure. Under negligible friction, if the mass is displaced by small amount \(x\) from its equilibrium position and released, the period of oscillation is

  1. A \(2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m\left(k_1+k_2\right)}{k_1 k_2}}\)
  2. B \(2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k_1+k_2}}\)
  3. C \(2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m k_1 k_2}{\left(k_1+k_2\right)}}\)
  4. D \(2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m\left(k_1-k_2\right)}{k_1 k_2}}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k_1+k_2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \text { According to question, } \) where, \(k_1=\) spring constant for first spring and \(k_2=\) spring constant for second spring. As, both the spring are in parallel connection, so spring constant equivalent \(k_p\) is \( k_p=k_1+k_2 \) The time period of oscillation for…
