An object of mass m is hung from a spring and set into oscillation. The period of the oscillation is measured and recorded as T. The object of mass m is removed and replaced with an object of mass 2m. When this object is set into oscillation, what is the period of the motion?

Respuesta :

Answer:[tex]\sqrt{2}T[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

object of mass m is suspended from spring and set in oscillation with time Period T

We know Time period of a mass in oscillation is given by

[tex]T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}[/tex]

where k=spring constant

When mass m is replaced by a mass of 2 m time period is given by

[tex]T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{2m}{k}}[/tex]

[tex]T'=\sqrt{2}\times 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}[/tex]

[tex]T'=\sqrt{2}T[/tex]

i.e. New time period becomes [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] times of previous one

                         

When the mass is replaced by 2m . Then,  time period become [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] times of previous time period.

Let us consider that , an object of mass m is attached to spring and set into oscillation.

Time period is defined as, number of oscillation per second.

Period of oscillation,  [tex]T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }[/tex]

Wen mass is replaced by 2m. then period of oscillation is T' .

                  [tex]T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{2m}{k} }=\sqrt{2}(2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }) =\sqrt{2}T[/tex]

Therefore, When the mass is replaced by 2m . Then period become [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] times of previous time period.
