13.Oscillations
medium
The frequency of oscillations of a mass $m$ connected horizontally by a spring of spring constant $k$ is $4 Hz$. When the spring is replaced by two identical spring as shown in figure. Then the effective frequency is,

A
$4 \sqrt{2}$
B
$1.5$
C
$1.31$
D
$2 \sqrt{2}$
(AIIMS-2016)
Solution
(d)
in series $k_{e q}=\frac{k \times k}{k+k}=\frac{k^2}{2 k}=\frac{k}{2}$
$\therefore \omega \sqrt{\frac{k e r}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
$\text { and } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}=4$
$\text { effective frequency }=\frac{4}{\sqrt{2}}=2 \sqrt{2}$
