A mass (M), attached to a horizontal spring, executes S.H.M. whith amplitude `A_(1). When the mass (M) passes throgh its mean position then shaller mass (m) is placed over it and both of them move together with amplitude `A_(2). The ration of.A. (a) `(M+m)/M`B. (b) (M/(M+m)^(1/2)`C. (c ) ((M+m)/M)^1/2)`D. (d) M/(M+m)` |
Answer» Correct Answer - C (c ) The net force becomes zero at the mean point. Therefore, linear momentum must be conserved. :. Mv_(1)=(M+m)v_(2)` `Masqrtk/M=(M+m)A_(2)sqrtk/(m+M):. (V=Asqrtk/M)` `A_(1)sqrtM=A_(2)sqrtM+m :. A_(1)/A_(2)=sqrt(m+M)/M`. |
