Oscillations - Result Question 40

44. The period of oscillation of a mass M suspended from a spring of negligible mass is T. If along with it another mass M is also suspended, the period of oscillation will now be

[2010]

(a) T

(b) T/2

(c) 2T

(d) 2T

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 44. (d)

Solution:

(d) T=2πMK

T1T2=M1M2

T2=T1M2M1=T12MM

T2=T12=2T(. where .T1=T)

If the spring has a mass M and mass m is suspended from it, effective mass is given by meff =m+M3

If the two mass m1 and m2 are connected by a spring and made to oscillate on horizontal surface, reduced mass 1mr=1m1+1m2

Time period T=2πmrk
