Wave Mechanics Question 598

Question: Two springs, each of spring constant $ k=100N/m $ , are attached to a block of mass 2 kg as shown in the figure. The block can slide smoothly along a horizontal platform clamped to the opposite walls of the trolley of mass 5kg. If the block is displaced by x cm. and released, the period of oscillation in seconds is

Options:

A) $ T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{1}{20}} $

B) $ T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{7}{1000}} $

C) $ T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{1}{140}} $

D) $ T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{49}{100}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{2k}} $ $ \

Therefore \mu =\frac{m _{1}m _{2}}{m _{1}+m _{2}} $

$ T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{10}{7\times 200}}=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{1}{140}} $
