Question

Time period of a spring-mass system is T . If this spring is cut into two parts whose lengths are in the ratio 1:3 and the same mass is attached to the longer part, the new time period will be, 3 2 T, T 3, 3 T 2, 3 T

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

T = 2 π m k When spring is cut in the ratio 1 : 3, the force constant of the longer part is 4 k 3 . ∴ T' = 2 π 3 m 4 k = 3 2 T
