Q.

In the figure given below, a block of mass M=490 g placed on a frictionless table is connected with two springs having the same spring constant (K=2 Nm-1). If the block is horizontally displaced through 'X' m, then the number of complete oscillations it will make in 14π seconds will be ______ .             [2023]


Ans.

(20)

Keff=K+K (as both springs are in use in parallel)=2k=2×2=4 N/m

m=490 gm=0.49 kg

T=2πmKeff=2π0.494

    =2π49400=2π720=7π10

Number of oscillations in 14π is

N=timeT=14π7π/10=20
