Obtain the force law for SHM from the displacement of SHM particle.

Answer»

Solution :Displacement of SHM particle at time t
`X(t)= A cos (OMEGA t+ phi)"""……."(1)`
where A= amplitude, `omega` = ANGULAR frequency and `phi`= initiall PHASE.
Differentiating equation (1) w.r.t. time t
`v(t)= (d[x(t)])/(dt)= (d)/(dt)[ A cos (omega t+phi)]`
`v(t)= -A omega sin (omega t+phi)`
Differentiating again w.r.t., time t
`a(t) = (d[v(t)])/(dt)= (d)/(dt) [-A omega sin (omega t + phi)]`
`therefore a(t) = -A omega^(2) cos (omega t + phi)`
but `A cos (omega t+phi) = x(t)`
`therefore a(t) = -omega^(2)x (t)`
MULTIPLY by mass m on both sides
`ma (t) = -m omega^(2) x(t)`
`therefore F= -kx(t)" where "ma= F, m omega^(2) = k`
`therefore F propto -x(t)`.

The radius of the bump on a road is r. What force does the road exert on a car ofmass m when the car passes the highest point on the bump ? Calculate the maximum speed with which the car can pass the highest point before losing contact wtih the road ?

Answer»

Solution :The forces acting on the CAR are the normal force exerted by the bumpacting VERTICALLY upwards at the highest point and the weight of the car mg acting vertically downwards. The resultant of these two forces gives the centripetal force.
`mg - N = (mv^(2))/r`
`N = mg - (mv^(2))/r`

The force exerted by the road on the car at the highest point `=mg - (mv^(2))/r`
When the car just LOSES contact with the road the normal force exerted by the road on the car is zero (i.e, N= 0)
`0= mg -(mv^(2))/r`
`(mv^(2))/r = mg`
`v^(2) = rg`
`v = sqrt(rg)`
So the maximum SPEED with which the car can pass the highest point is `v_("max") = sqrt(rg)`

`=(1)/(2) mv_(t)^(2)-k ln (2.01"/"0.1)`
`=2-0.5 ln (20.1)`
`= 2-1.5= 0.5 J`
`v_(f)= SQRT(2K_(f)"/"m)= 1ms^(-1)`

The melting point of ice is 0^(0) C at 1 atm. At what pressure it will be- 1^(0) C?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Here `Delta = (-1 - 0) = - 1, T = 273 + 0 = 273 ` K
and `V_(2) - V_(1) = (1 - (1)/(0.9) ) XX 10^(-3) m^(3) `(given )
L = 80 cal/g

or `(Delta P)/((- 1)) = (80 xx 4.2 xx 10^(3))/(273 (1 - (1)/(0.9) ) xx 10^(-3))`
`therefore Delta P = 132 xx 10^(5) N //m^(2) = 132 ` atm
or `P_(2) - P_(1) = 132` atm
`therefore P_(2) = 132 + P_(1) = 133` atm.

Explain the reflection of wave at free support.

Answer»

Solution :As shown in FIGURE, the string is fastened to a ring which slides without friction on a rod. In this case, when the pulse arrives at the left end, the ring moves up the rod.

As the ring moves, it pulls on the string stretching the string and producing a reflected pulse with the same sign and amplitude as the incident pulse. Thus, in such a reflection, the incident and reflected PULSES reinforce each other, creating the maximum displacement at the end of the string, the maximum displacement of the ring is TWICE the amplitude of either of the pulses. Thus, the reflection is without any additional phase shift.
Here, the reflection takes place without any phase change.
Suppose the progressive wave is,
`y _(1) (x,y) a sin (kx - omega t )`
The reflected wave from OPEN end is:
The reflected wave FORM open end is,
`y _(r) (x,t) = a sin (kx + omega t )`
If incident wave is moving in +X-direction, then reflected wave would be moving in -X-direction.
Note: If progressive was is moving in + Y-direction then the reflected wave of
`x _(i) (y,t) =a sin (kx - omega t ) is x _(r) (y,t) = - a sin (ky - omega t )`

Explain by plats the position of particle executing simple harmonic motion at different time.

Answer»

Solution :The figure shows the positions of a particle executing S.H.M. are at discrete value to time, each interval of time being `(T)/(4)" where "phi = 0` and T is the period of motion.

For a given SHM, A is the amplitude, then the velocity and position of a particle at time t is determine by the phase `(omega t+ phi)` of cosine function.
In the equation of SHM `x(t) = A cos (omega t+phi), phi =0" and " omega = (2pi)/(T)`,
`x(t)= A cos ((2pi)/(T)t)`
Now `t=0`
`x(t)= A cos (0) = +A`
Taking `t=(T)/(4)`
`x(t)= A cos"" ((2pi)/(T)xx(T)/(4)) = Acos ""(pi/2)= 0`
Taking `t=(T)/(2)`
`x(t)= A cos ""((2pi)/(T)xx(T)/(2)) = Acos ""pi = -A`
Taking `t=(3T)/(4)`
`x(t)= A cos ""((2pi)/(T)xx(3T)/(4)) = Acos ""(3PI)/(2)= 0`
Taking `t=T`
`x(t)= A cos ""((2pi)/(T)xxT) = Acos ""2pi = +A`
Taking `t=(5T)/(4)`
`x(t)= A cos ""((2pi)/(T)xx(5T)/(4)) = Acos ""(5pi)/(2)= 0`
From figure got following observations :
(i) After period T, periodic (REPEATS) motion takes place.
(ii) Period T remains fixed no MATTER what location you choose as the INITIAL (t=0) location.
(III) The speed is maximum for zero displacement (at x=0) and zero at the extremes of motion (x= A).

`0 = ((m_(1)-m_(2))/(m_(1) + m_(2)))1 + ((2m_(2))/(m_(1) + m_(2)))(-3)`
`m_(1)-m_(2)= 6m_(2), m_(1)= 7 m_(2), (m_(1))/(m_(2))= (7)/(1)`

(iii)The work done to increase the unit surface area of a liquid is equal to the surface tension.
`S=(W)/(DeltaA)(("Joule")/("metre"^(2))=("Newton")/("metre"))`
(Note : surface tension is denoted by T.)

Examine Tables 6.1-6.3 and express The daily intake of human adult in kilocalories.

Answer»

SOLUTION :The average human consumption in a day is
`(10^(7)J)/(4.2xx10^(3)J"/"kcal) CONG 2400kcal`
We point out a common misconception created by newspapers and magzines. They MENTION food values in calories and urge us to restrict DIET intake to below 2400 calories. What they should be saying is kilocalories (kcal) and not calories. A person consuming 2400 calories a day will soon strave to death! 1 food calorie is 1 kcal.

Two particles 1 and 2 start simultaneously from origin and move along the positive X direction. Initial velocity of both particles is zero. The acceleration of the two particles depends on their displacement (x) as shown in fig. (a) Particles 1 and 2 take t_(1) and t_(2) time respectivelyfor their displacement to become x_(0). Find (t_(2))/(t_(1)). (b) Which particle will cover 2x_(0) distance in least time? Which particle will cross the pointx = 2x_(0) with greater speed? (c) The two particles have same speed at a certain time after the start. Calculate this common speed in terms of a_(0) and x_(0).

Answer»


Answer :(a) `SQRT(2)` (b) particle 1 will cover `2x_(0)` in lesser TIME. Both will cross `2x_(0)` with same speed.(c) `v = (2 +sqrt(2)) sqrt(a_(0)x_(0))`

Four particles of masses m, 2m, 3m and 4m are placed at the vertices of a rectangle ABCD as shown in the figure. The particles move from A to B, B to C. C to D and D to A respectively. In this process find the displacement of centre of mass of the system.

Answer»

Solution :We have `vecDeltar_(CM) =(m_(1)(vec(Deltan)) + m_(2)(vec(Deltar_(2))) + m_(3)vec(Deltar_(3)) + m_(4)vec(Deltar_(4)))/(m_(1) + m_(2) + m_(3) + m_(4))`

Where `m_(1) = m, m_(2) = 2m, m_(3) =3m, m_(4)= 4m`
`vec(Deltar_(1)) = lhatj. vec(Deltar_(2)) = 2lhati.vec(Deltar_(3)) = - lhatj` and `vec(Deltar_(4)) =-2hati`
This GIVES :
`vec(DELTAR)cm =((m)(lhatj) + 2m(2lhati) + 3m(-lhatj) + 4m(-2lhati))/(m+2m + 3m + 4m) =-(2L)/5 hati - l/5 HATJ`
