Question

A pendulum is made from a massless rod of length L and bob of mass m. A spring of force constant k is connected horizontally to it at a distance h below its point of suspension as shown. The rod is in equilibrium in vertical position. The frequency of vibration of the system for small values of θ is :

Solution

The correct option is D 12πLgL+(kh2m)

The extension developed in the string due to small values of 'θ' is :

x=h tan θhθ

torque about 'O' :

τ0=(mgsinθ)L+(kx)h

or, τ0mgθL+kh2θ=(mgL+kh2)θ (1)

Also,

τ0=I0α=mL2α (2)

From (1) and (2) :

mL2α=(mgL+kh2)θ

or α=1L2(gL+kh2m)

Now T=2πθα=2πθ1L2(gL+kh2m)θ
Frequency

f=1T=12πLgL+(kh2m)

Hence (d)
