Two massless springs of force constants $K_1$ and $K_2$ are joined end to end. The resultant force constant $K$ of the system is

  • A
    $K = \frac{K_1 + K_2}{K_1 K_2}$
  • B
    $K = \frac{K_1 - K_2}{K_1 K_2}$
  • C
    $K = \frac{K_1 K_2}{K_1 + K_2}$
  • D
    $K = \frac{K_1 K_2}{K_1 - K_2}$

$A$ mass attached to a spring is free to oscillate,with angular velocity $\omega$,in a horizontal plane without friction or damping. It is pulled to a distance $x_{0}$ and pushed towards the centre with a velocity $v_{0}$ at time $t=0$. Determine the amplitude of the resulting oscillations in terms of the parameters $\omega, x_{0}$ and $v_{0}$. [Hint: Start with the equation $x=A \cos (\omega t+\theta)$ and note that the initial velocity is negative.]
