three identical springs each of spring constant k are connected to a mass m as shown . thn wht is the time period of the oscillation if the mass m is displaced by x along one of the springs ?

F net = F + F cos 60 + Fcos 60

so , k'= k + (k/4) + (k/4)

so k'= 3k / 2

Hence time period is 2 pie [under square root ( 2 m / 3 k)] .

ok here's the soln
got confused
the displacement of the other two springs will not be x but will be x cos 60
so
fnet = kx+k(2xcos 60) cos 60
(F cos 60)
so net k is 3k/2

if block m is displaced by dx downwards,,, the upper spring will be displaced bye dx and the lower two springs will be displaced by dx cos60 = dx/2
 
Net force ma = -(kdx + kdx/2 + kdx/2) = -2kdx
a = -2k/m dx
Hence, w^2 = 2k/m
w = rt(2k/m)
T=2rt(m/2k)

when the block is disturbed in any direction by a displacement x the due to the symmetry of the system the all the spring will exert force in the same direction and all the displacements of the springs will be equal

let the block be displaced by x towards A
on resolving the forces in the directions as shown in the fig the net force = 2kx

ma = 2kx

=> x/a = m/2k

so T = 2 pi sqrt(m/2k)

I think the answer is wrong....however brilliant might the illustrations be given

k' = kx + (2kx Cos 60) Cos 60

So k' = 3k/2

Hence time period = 2 (2m/3k)

Only Apurv is correct

    See guys i am at school and so its not possible to give a detailed explanation,

i am in a hurry However, take one of them to be constant and so let that be  kx

Now the net restoring force =  [(kx/2)2 + (kx/2)2 + 2

(kx/2)(kx/2)Cos 120]

So resultant force = kx/2

Net restoring force is thus kx + kx/2 = 3kx/2

Hence t = 2 (2m/3k)

I am pretty certain that this answer is correct.

t 2
(m/2k )
