Figure 14.30 (a) shows a spring of force constant k clampedrigidly at one end and a mass m attached to its free end. Aforce F applied at the free end stretches the spring. Figure14.30 (b) shows the same spring with both ends free and attached to amass m at either end. Each end of the spring in Fig. 14.30(b)is stretched by the same 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) arereleased, what is the period of oscillation in each case?

Answer»

Figure 14.30 (a) shows a spring of force constant k clamped
rigidly at one end and a mass m attached to its free end. A
force F applied at the free end stretches the spring. Figure
14.30 (b) shows the same spring with both ends free and attached to a
mass m at either end. Each end of the spring in Fig. 14.30(b)
is stretched by the same 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?
