    An electric motor of mass 40. kg is mounted on four vertical springs each having a spring constant of\[4000\text{ }N{{m}^{-1}}\]. The period with which the motor vibrates vertically is

    A)  0.314s                 

    B)         3.14s

    C)  0.628s                 

    D)         0.157s

    E)  0.078s

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Spring constant of combination \[{{k}_{p}}={{k}_{1}}+{{k}_{2}}+{{k}_{3}}+{{k}_{4}}\]                 \[{{k}_{p}}=4k\]                 \[=4\times 4000\] \[{{k}_{p}}=16000\text{ }N{{m}^{-1}}\] Time period of combination                 \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{{{k}_{p}}}}\]                 \[=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{4k}}\]                 \[=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{40}{16000}}\] \[T=0.314\text{ }s\]
