Q.

A mass 0.9 kg, attached to a horizontal spring, executes SHM with an amplitude A 1  . When this mass passes through its mean position, then a smaller mass of 124 g is placed over it and both masses move together with amplitude A 2  . If the ratio A 1 A 2   is α α1  , then the value of α 4   will be____

Detailed Solution

Explanation

Given:

  • Initial mass, m1 = 0.9 kg
  • Additional mass, m2 = 0.124 kg
  • Amplitude ratio formula: (A'/A) = sqrt(m1 / (m1 + m2))

Step 1: Calculate Total Mass

m total = m1 + m2 = 0.9 kg + 0.124 kg = 1.024 kg 

Step 2: Compute Amplitude Ratio 

(A'/A) = sqrt(0.9 / 1.024) ≈ 0.9375

Final Answer

The new amplitude A' is approximately 93.75% of the initial amplitude A.
