Vedclass · Answer

(A) For a body of mass $m$ executing $SHM$ under a force $F = -kx$,the time period is $T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$.Since $F = ma = -kx$,the force constant $k$ is proportional to $\frac{1}{T^2}$ (as $k = m\omega^2 = m(\frac{2\pi}{T})^2$).Thus,$k_1 \propto \frac{1}{T_1^2}$ and $k_2 \propto \frac{1}{T_2^2}$.When both forces act in the same direction,the effective force constant is $k_{eff} = k_1 + k_2$.The new time period $T$ is given by $\frac{1}{T^2} = \frac{1}{T_1^2} + \frac{1}{T_2^2}$.Substituting the values: $\frac{1}{T^2} = (\frac{5}{4})^2 + (\frac{5}{3})^2 = \frac{25}{16} + \frac{25}{9}$.$\frac{1}{T^2} = 25 	imes (\frac{9+16}{144}) = 25 	imes \frac{25}{144} = \frac{625}{144}$.Taking the square root: $\frac{1}{T} = \frac{25}{12}$,which gives $T = \frac{12}{25} \ s$.
