A block is placed on a frictionless horizontal table. The mass of the block is m and springs are attached on either side with force constants ${K_1}$ and ${K_2}$. If the block is displaced a little and left to oscillate, then the angular frequency of oscillation will be

  • A

    ${\left[ {\frac{{{K_1} + {K_2}}}{m}} \right]^{1/2}}$

  • B

    ${\left[ {\frac{{{K_1}{K_2}}}{{m({K_1} + {K_2})}}} \right]^{1/2}}$

  • C

    ${\left[ {\frac{{{K_1}{K_2}}}{{({K_1} - {K_2})m}}} \right]^{1/2}}$

  • D

    ${\left[ {\frac{{K_1^2 + K_2^2}}{{({K_1} + {K_2})m}}} \right]^{1/2}}$

A block with mass $M$ is connected by a massless spring with stiffiess constant $k$ to a rigid wall and moves without friction on a horizontal surface. The block oscillates with small amplitude $A$ about an equilibrium position $x_0$. Consider two cases: ($i$) when the block is at $x_0$; and ($ii$) when the block is at $x=x_0+A$. In both the cases, a perticle with mass $m$ is placed on the mass $M$ ?

When a particle of mass $m$ is attached to a vertical spring of spring constant $k$ and released, its motion is described by $y ( t )= y _{0} \sin ^{2} \omega t ,$ where $'y'$ is measured from the lower end of unstretched spring. Then $\omega$ is
