SamplePhysics· MCQ+4 / -1
As shown in the figure, a spring is kept in a stretched position with some extension by holding the masses and with a separation more than spring natural length and are released. Assuming the horizontal surface to be frictionless, the angular frequency (in SI unit) of the system is :
Spring of constant \(k = 150\ \text{N/m}\) connecting masses \(1\ \text{kg}\) and \(0.2\ \text{kg}\) on a frictionless horizontal surface.
