हिन्दीTwo identical point masses P and Q, suspended from two separate massless springs of spring constants \( k_1 \) and \( k_2 \), respectively, oscillate vertically. If their maximum speeds are the same, the ratio \( (A_Q/A_P) \) of the amplitude \( A_Q \) of mass Q to the amplitude \( A_P \) of mass P is:
View Answer & Solution
Correct answer · Option D
\( \sqrt{\frac{k_1}{k_2}} \)
Explanation
Equating maximum speeds \( v_{max} = A\omega = A\sqrt{k/m} \) for identical masses gives \( A_P \sqrt{k_1} = A_Q \sqrt{k_2} \), hence \( \frac{A_Q}{A_P} = \sqrt{\frac{k_1}{k_2}} \).
