(b)
The first two springs are in parallel.
So, $k_{ eq }$ of $1^{\text {st }} 2$ will be $=2 k$
Then it becomes
The springs $2 k$ and $k$ are in series.
$\text { So, }$ $k_{ eq }=\frac{2 k \times k}{2 k+k}$
$=\frac{2 k \times k}{3 k}=\frac{2}{3} k$
$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k_{e q}}}$
$\Rightarrow T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{3 m}{2 k}}$

If the tuning fork is moved with a speed of $2 ms ^{-1}$ in front of the open end of the pipe and parallel to it, the length of the pipe should be changed for the resonance to occur with the moving tuning fork. If the speed of sound in air is $320 ms ^{-1}$, the smallest value of the percentage change required in the length of the pipe is. . . . . .View Solution
- 3View SolutionTwo particles are oscillating along two close parallel straight lines side by side, with the same frequency and amplitudes. They pass each other, moving in opposite directions when their displacement is half of the amplitude. The mean positions of the two particles lie on a straight line perpendicular to the paths of the two particles. The phase difference is
