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

    

  • 2

  • 1.5

  • 1.31

  • 22


D.

22

If one spring is connected then frequency = 4Hz

          4 = 12πkm                       ....(i)

If two springs are connected in series, then frequency

          v = 12πk'm                      ....(ii)

      k' = k2

From equation (i) and (ii)

      4v = 12πkm12πk2m

      4v = 2

     v = 2 2 Hz
