Two bodies A and B of equal mass are suspended from two massless springs of spring constant k1 and k2, respectively. If the bodies oscillate vertically such that their amplitudes are equal, the ratio of the maximum velocity of A to the maximum velocity of B is

Multiple Choice Options

  • A k2k1\sqrt{\frac{k_2}{k_1}}
  • B k1k2\sqrt{\frac{k_1}{k_2}}
  • C k2k1\frac{k_2}{k_1}
  • D k1k2\frac{k_1}{k_2}

JEE Main 2025 (Online) 29th January Evening Shift Physics - Simple Harmonic Motion Question 7 English Explanation

We know, for an oscillation,

Vmax⁡=wA{V_{\max }} = wA .... (1)

where, A = amplitude

w = frequency of oscillation

and w=kmw = \sqrt {{k \over m}} .... (2)

from (1) and (2), Vmax⁡=kmA{V_{\max }} = \sqrt {{k \over m}} A

⇒Vmax⁡∝k\Rightarrow {V_{\max }} \propto \sqrt k (As m and A are same (or constant))

⇒(Vmax⁡)A(Vmax⁡)B=k1k2\Rightarrow {{{{\left( {{V_{\max }}} \right)}_A}} \over {{{\left( {{V_{\max }}} \right)}_B}}} = \sqrt {{{{k_1}} \over {{k_2}}}}

Hence, option 2 is correct.
