A simple pendulum made up of light rod of length L and bob of mass m has a spring of force constant k connected to it at a distance x below the pt. of suspension. Find the frequency of vibration of the system.

consider a small ANGULAR displacement of θ;
comperession in the spring is>>>> xθ

spring force=kxθ
RESTORING torque abt point of suspension= (kxθ)x=kx2θ

torque = MI * α

ml2/3(α)=-kx2θ

:

now you can find it

hmm
by this method i m not gettin the rite ans...

i used the energy method and still not gettin the ans!!!

By energy method,

if rod is displaced by θ, and have angular velocity ω,

then TOTAL ENERGY=1/2 k(xθ)2 +ml2/3 ω2+mgl(1-cosθ)/2 = constant

& 1-cosθ= θ2/2 ;

diff wrt θ,
ω2=3(kx2+ mgl/2)/2ml2

is it correct now?

Nothing very tough in it. If you think clearly you will certainly be able to do it!
