13.Oscillations
medium

In the figure, ${S_1}$ and ${S_2}$ are identical springs. The oscillation frequency of the mass $m$ is $f$. If one spring is removed, the frequency will become

A

$f$

B

$f \times 2$

C

$f \times \sqrt 2 $

D

$f/\sqrt 2 $

Solution

(d) For the given figure $f = \frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{{k_{eq}}}}{m}} = \frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{2k}}{m}} $…..(i)
If one spring is removed, then $k_eq = k$ and
$f' = \frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{k}{m}} $ ….(ii)
From equation (i) and (ii),

$\frac{f}{{f'}} = \sqrt 2 $

==> $f' = \frac{f}{{\sqrt 2 }}$
