The springs shown in the figure are all unstretched in the beginning when a man starts pulling the block. The man exerts a constant force F on the block. Find the amplitude and the frequency of the motion of the block.
F(k2+k3)k1k2+k2k3+k1+k3,12π√k1k2+k2k3+k1+k3M(k2+k3)
Spring k2 and k3 are in series their combination, say k4 would be
k4=k2k3k2+k3
now k4 and k1 are in parallel
k5=k1+k4=k1+k2k3k2+k3
=k1k2+k2k3+k1k3k2+k3
f=12π√km=12π√k1k2+k2k3+k1k3M(k2+k3)
now mean position, F=k5x
x=F(k2+k3)k1k2+k2k3+k1k3
that would be the amplitude of new motion
