and recall, when springs are in series, the same force acts through them!
So, the whole problem reduces to this
or if one wants to spend a lil more time but wants to go through basics, he should form these equations
1)T=ma...(neglecting mg for calculation of time period)
2)equilibria of massless pulleys; k1x1=k2x2=k3x3=k4x4=2T, k1=k2=k3=k4, means x1=x2=x3=x4
3)length constraint, 2(x1+x2+x3+x4)+x=0, where x is displacement of block
Using these equations, find a relation of the form Kx=-ma, determine K, and all is done
yes, X=4
''length constraint, x1+x2+x3+x4+x=0,''
ReplyDeletemake it
'2'x1+'2'x2+'2'x3+'2'x4+x=0....i'm sure u know why
yes shaan is right
ReplyDeleteyes thanks for correction
