If the time period of simple harmonic motion of the rectangular block can be represented as
T=2πbkam for coprime positive integers a,b.
Find a2+b2 up to two decimal places.
Details and Assumptions
- Pulley is smooth and massless, and the strings are light and inextensible.
- Gravity is present.
- The crooked lines in the figure represents springs of spring constant k and 2k as shown.
-Take the amplitude of oscillations to be very small.
