MCQ
What will be the force constant of the spring system shown in the figure
  • A
    $\frac{{{K_1}}}{2} + {K_2}$
  • ${\left[ {\frac{1}{{2{K_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{K_2}}}} \right]^{ - 1}}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{{2{K_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{K_2}}}$
  • D
    ${\left[ {\frac{2}{{{K_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{K_1}}}} \right]^{ - 1}}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
${\left[ {\frac{1}{{2{K_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{K_2}}}} \right]^{ - 1}}$
b
(b)In series combination
$\frac{1}{{{k_S}}} = \frac{1}{{2{k_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{k_2}}}$
==> ${k_S} = {\left[ {\frac{1}{{2{k_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{k_2}}}} \right]^{ - 1}}$

The rebound coefficient between a tennis ball and a racket is defined as $g = v_2/ v_1$, where $v_1$ is the incoming speed of the ball and $v_2$ is the speed of the ball after rebound while the racket is at rest. A tennis ball falls from height $H$ to a racket at rest and bounces back to $0.8\  H. A$ tennis player is using the racket to hit an incoming tennis ball traveling at $150\ km/hr$ and the racket is moving at $100\ km/hr$. What is the speed of the ball after being hit? (Assume the mass of the racket >> that of the ball)..........$km/hr$
