  1. The system shown in the figure consists of block A of mass 5 kg connected to a spring through a massless rope passing over pulley B of radius r and mass 20 kg. The spring constant k is 1500 N/m. If there is no slipping of the rope over the pulley, the natural frequency of the system is _______ rad/s.
    1. 0.01 rad /sec
    2. 10 rad /sec
    3. 100 rad /sec
    4. 110 rad /sec
Correct Option: B

KE =

I =
20 × r2
= 10r2

∴ meq = 15
PE =

∴ keq = k = 1500 N / m
Natural frequency
= 10 rad /sec
