Figure 14.26 (a) shows a spring of force constant k clamped rigidly at one end anda mass m attached to its free end. A force F applied at the free end stretches thespring. Figure 14.26 (b) shows the same spring with both ends free and attached toa mass m at either end. Each end of the spring in Fig. 14.26(b) is stretched by thesame force F. (a) What is the maximum extension of the spring in the two cases ? (b) If the mass in Fig. (a) and the two masses in Fig. (b) are released, what is the period of oscillation in each case ? |
