Question

One end of a long metallic wire of length L is tied to the ceiling. The other end is tied to a massless spring of spring constant k. A mass m hangs freely from the free end of the spring. The area of cross-section and the Young's modulus of the wire arc A and Y respectively. If the mass is slightly pulled down and released, it will oscillate with a time period T equal to:
 

Moderate
Solution

An elastic string behaves like spring with spring constant k=AYL
Now                                    keff=AYLkAYL+k
So,                                   T=2πmYAkYA+kL
