Two identical springs are fixed at one end and masses M and $$4M$$ are suspended at their other ends as shown in figure. They are both stretched down from their mean position and let go simultaneously. If they are in the same phase every $$4$$ seconds, the spring constant k is

Question

Infinity Learn · Accepted Answer

$$T1=2$$$$π$$$$1k$$ and $$T2=2$$$$π$$$$4k=2$$×$$2$$$$π$$$$1kT2$$ $$=$$ $$2T1$$, since these are in phase every $$4$$ second.∴ $$T2$$ $$=$$ $$4$$ $$sec$$$$.4=2$$×$$2$$$$π$$$$1k$$⇒$$1k=1$$π⇒$$k=$$π$$2N/m$$
