Q25 / 214 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Oscillations

Two springs are joined and attached to a mass of 16 kg. The system is then suspended vertically from a rigid support. The spring constant of the two springs are k1 and k2 respectively. The period of vertical oscilliations of the system will be

  • Correct answer
    A
    8πk1+k2k1k2
  • B
    π2k1k2
  • C
    k1+k28π
  • D
    πk1-k22

Solution

Here two springs are in series

∴   Effective spring constant is given by 1k=1k2+1k2

⇒   k=k1k2k1+k2

∴  Time period of oscilliation.

T=2πmk=2π 16 k 1 k 2 .( k 1 + k 2 )

=8πk1+k2k1k2

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
