75. II A block on a frictionless table is connected as shown in FIGURE P15.75 to two springs having spring constants k1and k2. Find an expression for the block's oscillation frequency f in terms of the frequenciesf1and f2at which it would oscillate if attached to spring 1or spring 2alone.

Short Answer

Expert verified

As a result, the actual frequency is simply a multiple of the angular frequency, which equals the value of f=f12f22f12+f22, where f1andf2 are the frequencies of oscillations of the springs 1 and 2 .

Step by step solution

01

:Given data

A spring's spring constant is written as,

k=Fx

F denotes the applied force, and x denotes the spring's displacement.

02

The frequency of two spring

Assume that there are no-mass springs, and that the spring constants of the two springs are and. The frequencies of the two springs and the frequency of the block are b f

In the figure, F1wand Fw1are the forces exerted by spring 1 on wall and wall on spring 1

Spring number two is in contact with the mass. As a result, the net force on the mass is Fm=F2m

Newton's third law states that the force exerted by spring 2 on mass is equal and opposite to the force exerted on mass by spring 2, and the force exerted on spring 1 by spring 2 is equal to the force exerted on spring 2 by spring 1.

03

Step 3:The net force on the mass

The massless spring has no net force acting on it..

There fore,

Fw1=k1Δx1andFm2=k2Δx2.

Combine the two realities mentioned above.

Fm=k1Δx1=k2Δx2

The mass's net displacement is

Δx=Δx1+Δx2

=Fmk1+Fmk2

=Fm1k1+1k2

=k1+k2k1k2Fm

The mass's net displacement is

Fm=k1+k2k1+k2Δx

As a result, the effective spring constant is

k=k1k2k1+k2

04

Step 4:The expression for angular of the frequency of the mass 

The expression for the mass's angular frequency is

Ó¬=km

=1mk1k2k1+k2

=k1mk2mk1m+k2m

Ó¬=Ó¬12Ó¬22Ó¬12+Ó¬22

In the above expression, Ó¬1=k1mand Ó¬2=k2m.

As a result, the actual frequency is simply a multiple of the angular frequency, which equals the value of f=f12f22f12+f22, where f1and f2are the frequencies of oscillations of the springs 1and 2.
