13.Oscillations
medium
A spring has a certain mass suspended from it and its period for vertical oscillation is $T$. The spring is now cut into two equal halves and the same mass is suspended from one of the halves. The period of vertical oscillation is now
A
$\frac{T}{2}$
B
$\frac{T}{\sqrt{2}}$
C
$\sqrt{2}T$
D
$2T$
Solution
(b) $T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{m}{k}} $.
Also spring constant $(k) \propto \frac{1}{{{\rm{Length (}}L)}}$, when the spring is half in length, then $k$ becomes twice.
$\therefore T' = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{m}{{2k}}} $
$\Rightarrow \frac{{T'}}{T} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }} $
$\Rightarrow T' = \frac{T}{{\sqrt 2 }}$
