MCQ
Two identical spring of constant $K$ are connected in series and parallel as shown in figure. A mass $m$ is suspended from them. The ratio of their frequencies of vertical oscillations will be
  • A
    $2:1$
  • B
    $1:1$
  • $1:2$
  • D
    $4:1$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$1:2$
c
(c) $n = \frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{k}{m}} $

==> $\frac{{{n_S}}}{{{n_P}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{k_S}}}{{{k_P}}}} $

$ \Rightarrow \frac{{{n_s}}}{{{n_p}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{\left( {\frac{k}{2}} \right)}}{{2k}}} = \frac{1}{2}$
