JEE Main & Advanced Physics Simple Harmonic Motion Question Bank Spring Pendulum

  • question_answer
    When a body of mass 1.0 kg is suspended from a certain light spring hanging vertically, its length increases by 5 cm. By suspending 2.0 kg block to the spring and if the block is pulled through 10 cm and released the maximum velocity in it in m/s is : (Acceleration due to gravity \[=10m/{{s}^{2}})\]             [EAMCET 2003]

    A)            0.5

    B)            1

    C)            2    

    D)            4

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       Initially when 1 kg mass is suspended then by using \[F=kx\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[mg=kx\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[k=\frac{mg}{x}=\frac{1\times 10}{5\times {{10}^{-2}}}=200\frac{N}{m}\]                    Further, the angular frequency of oscillation of 2 kg mass is \[\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{M}}=\sqrt{\frac{200}{2}}=10\,rad/sec\]                    Hence, \[{{v}_{\max }}=a\omega =(10\times {{10}^{-2}})\times 10=1\,m/s\]
