Sort the scenarios based on how long it takes the block n to reach equilibrium T[tex]_{c}[/tex]>T[tex]_{A}[/tex]>T[tex]_{B}[/tex]=T[tex]_{D}[/tex].
F[tex]_{net}[/tex]=kx₁=kx₂
x₁+x₂=A
[tex]\frac{F}{k}[/tex]+[tex]\frac{F}{k}[/tex]=A
A=[tex]\frac{2F}{k}[/tex]
F[tex]_{net}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{kA}{2}[/tex]
point of connecting spring displaced by A/2
Ranking ⇒[(case-B)=(case-D)>(case-A)>(case-C)]
Part-(b)
Now, time period T=2π[tex]\sqrt{\frac{m}{k_{eq} } }[/tex]
case-A [tex]k_{q}[/tex]=k,
case-B [tex]k_{eq}[/tex]=2k
case-C [tex]k_{eq}[/tex]=k/2
case-D [tex]k_{eq}[/tex]=2k
so,T[tex]_{c}[/tex]>T[tex]_{A}[/tex]>T[tex]_{B}[/tex]=T[tex]_{D}[/tex]
A process is in equilibrium when the observable properties, such as color, temperature, pressure, concentration, etc., do not change.
Equilibrium, which literally means "balance," denotes that the reactants and products involved in a chemical process are in balance with one another. The equilibrium condition can also be seen in some physical processes, such as the melting point of ice at 0 degrees Celsius, when both ice and water are present.
The equilibrium is known as a physical equilibrium in the case of physical processes like the melting of solids, the dissolution of salt in water, etc., whereas the equilibrium connected to chemical reactions is known as a chemical equilibrium.
