AIPMT PRELIMS 2002 Physics Spring Mass System MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
A mass is suspended separately by two different springs in successive order then time period is t₁ and t₂ respectively. If it is connected by both spring as shown in figure then time period is t₀, the correct relation is :-
A
t₀² = t₁² + t₂²
B
t₀² = t₁² + t₂²
C
t₀ = t₁⁻¹ + t₂⁻¹
D
t₀ = t₁ + t₂
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
When two springs are in parallel, their effective spring constant is the sum of their individual spring constants. The time period for parallel springs is given by the formula t₀² = t₁² + t₂².
