    One-third of spring having force constant k is cut and mass m is suspended to it. If the frequency of oscillation of the original spring with the same mass is/then the frequency of oscillation in one-third of spring is

    A)  \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}f\]

    B)  \[\sqrt{3}f\]

    C)  \[2f\]

    D)  \[\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}f\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    : Force constant of full spring\[=k,\] mass \[=m\] \[\therefore \] \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}\] or frequency \[f=\frac{\sqrt{k}}{2\pi \sqrt{m}}\] Force constant for one-third spring\[=3\text{ }k,\] mass \[=m,\] \[\therefore \] \[f=\frac{\sqrt{3k}}{2\pi \sqrt{m}}\] \[\therefore \] \[f=\sqrt{3}f.\]
