A particle of mass 'm' is attached to three identical springs A, B and C each of force constant 'k' as shown in figure. If the particle of mass 'm' is pushed sightly against the spring 'A' and released. Find the period of oscillation

Answer»

Solution :When the particle of mass .m. at .0. is pushed by .y. in the direction of A, spring .A. will be compressed by .y. while B and C will be stretched by `y.= y cos45^(@)` , so the total restoring FORCE on the mass .m. ALONG .A0. is `RF=F_(A)+F_(B) cos 45 + F_(C)Cos 45 = ky + 2(ky^(1)) cos 45= ky+2k(ycos45)cos45`
`F= -k^(1)y "with"k^(1)=2k implies T= 2pisqrt((m)/(k^(1)))= 2pisqrt((m)/(2k))`
