Two springs of force constants $300 \, N/m$ (Spring $A$) and $400 \, N/m$ (Spring $B$) are joined together in series. The combination is compressed by $8.75 \, cm$. The ratio of energy stored in $A$ and $B$ is $E_A / E_B$. Then $E_A / E_B$ is equal to:

  • A
    $4/3$
  • B
    $16/9$
  • C
    $3/4$
  • D
    $9/16$

Find the ratio of time periods of two identical springs if they are first joined in series and then in parallel and a mass $m$ is suspended from them.

The motion of a mass on a spring,with spring constant $K$ is as shown in the figure. The equation of motion is given by $x(t) = A \sin \omega t + B \cos \omega t$ with $\omega = \sqrt{\frac{K}{m}}$. Suppose that at time $t = 0$,the position of the mass is $x(0)$ and velocity is $v(0)$,then its displacement can also be represented as $x(t) = C \cos (\omega t - \phi)$,where $C$ and $\phi$ are:

$A$ small mass $m$ is suspended at the end of a wire having negligible mass,length $L$,and cross-sectional area $A$. The frequency of oscillation for the $S.H.M.$ along the vertical line is ($Y =$ Young's modulus of the wire).
