Spring Systems

Two particles A and B of equal masses are suspended from two massless springs of spring constants K1 and K2 respectively. If the maximum velocities during oscillations are equal, the ratio of the amplitude of A and B is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. vmax=AKmv_{max} = A\sqrt{\frac{K}{m}}; equal vmaxv_{max} and mm give A∝1KA \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{K}}.
  2. AAAB=K2K1\frac{A_A}{A_B} = \sqrt{\frac{K_2}{K_1}}
  3. So the answer is (d) K2K1\sqrt{\frac{K_2}{K_1}}.
