9 11 Answer only one of the following two alternatives. 5 EITHER A particle of mass 0.1 kg lies on a smooth horizontal table on the line between two points A and B on the table, which are 6 m apart. The particle is joined to A by a light elastic string of natural length 2 m and modulus of elasticity 60 N, and to B by a light elastic string of natural length 1 m and modulus of elasticity 20 N. The mid-point of AB is M, and O is the point between M and B at which the particle can rest in equilibrium. Show that MO = 0.2 m. [4] The particle is held at M and then released. Show that the equation of motion is d 2 y dt 2 = 500y, where y metres is the displacement from O in the direction OB at time t seconds, and state the period of the motion.
