MCQ
A weightless spring which has a force constant oscillates with frequency $n$ when a mass $m$ is suspended from it. The spring is cut into two equal halves and a mass $2 m$ is suspended from it. The frequency of oscillation will now become
  • $n$
  • B
    $2 n$
  • C
    $n / \sqrt{2}$
  • D
    $n(2)^{1 / 2}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$n$
$n=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} \Rightarrow \frac{n}{n^{\prime}}=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} \times \frac{m^{\prime}{K^{\prime}}}=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} \times \frac{2 m}{2 K}}=1 \Rightarrow n^{\prime}=n$
