JEE MAIN - Physics (2017 - 8th April Morning Slot - No. 20)

A 1 kg block attached to a spring vibrates with a frequency of 1 Hz on a frictionless horizontal table. Two springs identical to the original spring are attached in parallel to an 8 kg block placed on the same table. So, the frequency of vibration of the 8 kg block is :
$${1 \over 4}Hz$$
$${1 \over {2\sqrt 2 }}Hz$$
$${1 \over 2}Hz$$
$$2$$ $$Hz$$

Explanation

For 1 kg block :

JEE Main 2017 (Online) 8th April Morning Slot Physics - Simple Harmonic Motion Question 123 English Explanation 1

Here frequency of spring (f) = $${1 \over {2\pi }}\sqrt {{k \over m}} $$

Given that, F = 1 Hz

$$\therefore\,\,\,$$ $${1 \over {2\pi }}\sqrt {{k \over 1}} $$ = 1

$$ \Rightarrow $$$$\,\,\,$$ k = 4$$\pi $$2 N m$$-$$1

For 8 kg Block :

JEE Main 2017 (Online) 8th April Morning Slot Physics - Simple Harmonic Motion Question 123 English Explanation 2

Here two identical springs are attached in parallel. So,

Keq = k + k = 2k

$$\therefore\,\,\,$$ Frequency of 8 kg block,

F' = $${1 \over {2\pi }}\sqrt {{{{k_{eq}}} \over {m'}}} $$

= $${1 \over {2\pi }}\sqrt {{{2k} \over 8}} $$

= $${1 \over {2\pi }}\sqrt {{{2 \times 4{\pi ^2}} \over 8}} $$

= $${1 \over {2\pi }} \times \pi $$

= $${1 \over 2}$$ Hz
