Simple Harmonic Motion 4 Question 17

17. Two masses m1 and m2 are suspended together by a massless spring of spring constant k (Fig.). When the masses are in equilibrium, m1 is removed without disturbing the system. Find the angular frequency and amplitude of oscillation of m2.

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 17. ω=km2,A=m1gk

Solution:

  1. When m1 is removed only m2 is left. Therefore, angular frequency ω=k/m2

Let x1 be the extension when only m2 is left. Then,

kx1=m2g or x1=m2gk

Similarly, let x2 be the extension in equilibrium when both m1 and m2 are suspended. Then,

(m1+m2)g=kx2x2=(m1+m2)gk

From Eqs. (i) and (ii), amplitude of oscillation
