13.Oscillations
hard

The mass $M$ shown in the figure oscillates in simple harmonic motion with amplitude $A$. The amplitude of the point $P$ is

A

$\frac{k_1 A}{k_2}$

B

$\frac{k_2 A}{k_1}$

C

$\frac{k_1 A}{k_1+k_2}$

D

$\frac{k_2 A}{k_1+k_2}$

(IIT-2009)

Solution

$F = k _1 x _1 \text { and } F = k _2 x _2$

$\text { tehn } A = x _1+ x _2= F \left(\frac{1}{ k _1}+\frac{1}{ k _2}\right)$

$F =\frac{ k _1 k _2}{ k _1+ k _2} A$

So the amplitude of the point is $x _1=\frac{ F }{ k _1}=\frac{k_2}{k_1+k_2} A$
