13.Oscillations
hard

A bar of mass $m$ is suspended horizontally on two vertical springs of spring constant $k$ and $3k$ . The bar bounces up and down while remaining horizontal. Find the time period of oscillation of the bar (Neglect mass of springs and friction everywhere).

A

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

B

$2\pi \sqrt {\frac{m}{{3k}}} $

C

$\pi \sqrt {\frac{{2m}}{{3k}}} $

D

$2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{m}}{{4k}}} $

Solution

Let the elongation in spring are $\mathrm{x}_{1} \& \mathrm{x}_{2}$

$x_{1}+x_{2}=2 x$

$3 \mathrm{kx}_{1}=\mathrm{kx}_{2}$

$3 \mathrm{kx}_{1}+\mathrm{kx}_{2}=\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{eq}} \mathrm{x}$

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