13.Oscillations
easy
A weightless spring of length $60\, cm$ and force constant $200\, N/m$ is kept straight and unstretched on a smooth horizontal table and its ends are rigidly fixed. A mass of $0.25\, kg$ is attached at the middle of the spring and is slightly displaced along the length. The time period of the oscillation of the mass is
A
$\frac{\pi }{{20}}s$
B
$\frac{\pi }{{10}}s$
C
$\frac{\pi }{5}s$
D
$\frac{\pi }{{\sqrt {200} }}s$
Solution
(a) System is equivalent to parallel combination of springs
${K_{eq}} = {K_1} + {K_2} = 400$ and
$T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{m}{{{K_{eq}}}}} = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{0.25}}{{400}}} = \frac{\pi }{{20}}$
