MCQ
Five identical springs are used in the following three configurations. The time periods of vertical oscillations in configurations (i), (ii) and (iii) are in the ratio
  • $1:\sqrt 2 :\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}$
  • B
    $2:\sqrt 2 :\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}:2:1$
  • D
    $2:\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}:1$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$1:\sqrt 2 :\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}$
a
(a) $T \propto \frac{1}{{\sqrt k }}$

==> ${T_1}:{T_2}:{T_3} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt k }}:\frac{1}{{\sqrt {k/2} }}:\frac{1}{{\sqrt {2k} }} = 1:\sqrt 2 :\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}$
