A uniform cylinder of length (L) and mass (M) having cross sectional area (A) is suspended, with its length vertical, from a fixed point by a massless spring, such that it is half - submerged in a liquid of density (rho) at equilibrium position. When the cylinder is given a small downward push and released it starts oscillating vertically with small amplitude. If the force constant of the spring is (k), the prequency of oscillation of the cylindcer is.A. `(1)/(2 pi) ((k - A rho g)/(M))^(1//2)`B. `(1)/( 2 pi) ((k + A rho g)/(M))^(1//2)`C. `(1)/(2 pi)((k + rho gL)/(M))^(1//2)`D. `(1)/(2 pi) ((k + A rho g)/(A rho g))^(1//2)

Answer» Correct Answer - B
If (x) is the displacement then,
:. `M omega^2 x= [rho A g + k]x`
`rArr omega = [(rho A g + k)/(m)]^(1//2) rArr v = (1)/(2 pi)[(rho A g + k)/(M)]^(1//2)`.

A particle of mass (m) is executing oscillations about the origin on the (x) axis. Its potential energy is `V(x) = k|x|^3` where (k) is a positive constant. If the amplitude of oscillation is a, then its time period (T) is.A. proportional to `1//sqrt(a)`B. independent of (a)C. proportional to `sqrt(a)`D. proportional to `a^(3//2)`.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`U (x) = k|x|^3`
:. `[k] = ([U])/([x^3]) = (M L^2 T^-2)/(L^3) = ML ^-1 T^-2`
now time period may depend on ` T prop (mass)^x (amplitude)^y (k)^z`
:. `[M^0 L^0T] = [M]^x [L]^y [M L^-1 T^-2]^z`
=`[M^x + z L^y -z T^(-2z)]`
Equating the powers, we get
`-2z = 1 or -1//2`
`y - z = 0 or y = z = - 1//2`
Hence `T prop (amplitude)^(-1//2) prop a^(1//2)`.

The lower face of `B` is rigidly held on a horizontal surface . `A` small force `F` is applied perpendicular to one of the side faces of `A`. After the force is withdrawn , block `A` executes faces of `A`. After the force is withdrawn , block `A` exceutes small oscillations , the time period of which is given byA. `sqrt(eta mL)`B. `2pisqrt(m(eta)/(L))`C. `2pisqrt(((mL)/(eta)))`D. `2pisqrt(((m)/(etaL)))`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Stress `=(F)/(L^(2)),eta=(F)/(L^(2)phi)`
`F=L^(2)eta phi`
`F=L^(2)eta((-x)/(L))" "[because "Strain"=phi=-(x)/(L)]`
`F=(L eta)(-x)`
`rArr" "ma=(Leta)(-x)`
`a=((Leta)/(m))(-x)`
`therefore" "a prop-omega^(2)x`
`(Leta)/(m)(-x)=-omega^(2)x`
or `omega=sqrt(((Leta)/(m)))thereforeT=2pisqrt(((m)/(etaL)))`

A highly rigid cubical block (A) of small mass (M) and slide (L) is fixed rigidly on to another cubical block (B) of the same dimesions and of low modulus of rigidity (eta) such that the lower face of (A) completely covers the upper face of (B). The lower face of (B) is rigidly held on a horizontal surface. (A) small force (F) is applied perpendicular to one of the sides faces of (A). After the force is withdrawn, block (A) executes small oscillations the time period of which is given by.A. `(2 pi) sqrt(M eta L)`B. (2 pi) sqrt (M eta)/(L)`C. `(2 pi) sqrt (M L)/(eta)`D. `(2 pi)sqrt (M)/(eta L)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
When a force is applied on cubical block (A) in the horizontal direction then the lower block (B) will get distorted as shown by dotted lines and (A) will attain a new position (without distrotion as (A) is a rigid body) as shown by dotted lines.
`eta = (F//A)/(Delta L//L) = (F)/(A) xx (L)/(Delta L) = (F)/(L^2) xx (L)/(Delta L) = (F) /(L xx Delta L)`
rArr `F = eta L Delta L`
`eta L` is a constant
rArr Force `F prop Delta L` and directed towards the mean position, oscillation will be simple harmonic in nature.
Here, `M omega^2 = eta L`
`rArr omega = sqrt (eta L)/(M) rArr (2 pi)/(T) = sqrt(eta L)/(M) rArr T = 2 pi sqrt (M)/(eta L)`.

Two rigid bodies A and B of masses 1 kg and 2 kg respectively are rigidly connected to a spring of force constant 400 `Nm^(-1)` . The body B rests on a horizontal table. From the rest position , the body A is compressed by 2 cm and then released . Deduce (i) teh frequency of oscillation, (ii) total oscillation energy, (iii) the amplitude of the harmonic vibration of the reaction of the table on body B.

Answer» Since it is body A which is oscillation , m=1 kg
(i) Frequency of osillation , `v=(1)/(2pi)sqrt((k)/(m))`
or `v=(1)/(2pi)sqrt((400)/(1)) Hz=(10)/(pi)Hz=3.182 Hz`
(ii) Total oscillation energy, `E=(1)/(2)mA^(2)omega^(2)`
or `E=(1)/(2)mA^(2)((k)/(m))=(1)/(2)kA^(2)`
`=(1)/(2)xx400xx(0.02)^(2) J=0.08 J (because a=2 cm=0.02 m)`
Total force acting on the table
`=(1+2 ) kg wt=3 kg wt=3xx9.8 N=29.4 N`
This is the mean upward reaction. Now, due to oscillation, the maximum tension developed in the spring is given by `F=kA=400xx 0.02 N=8 N`
Thus , the amplitude of the vibration of reaction of the table will vary from (29.4+8) N to (29.4)N.

(c ) The net force becomes zero at the mean point.
Therefore, linear momentum must be conserved.
:. Mv_(1)=(M+m)v_(2)`
`Masqrtk/M=(M+m)A_(2)sqrtk/(m+M):. (V=Asqrtk/M)`

A particle is performing a linear simple harmonic motion. If the instantaneous acceleration and velocity of the particle are `a` and `v` respectively, identify the graph which correctly represents the relation between `a` and `v`.A. B. C. D.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
If `v = v_(0)sin omega t`, then
`a = (dv)/(dt) = v_(0) omega cos omega t`
`sin omega t = (v)/(v_(0))` …(i)
`cos omega t = (a)/(v_(0)omega)` …(ii)
Squaring and adding these equations, we get
`1 = (v_(2))/(v_(0)^(2) + (a^(2))/(v_(0)omega)`
`:. v^(2) = (-(v_(0))/(omega)) a^(2) + v_(0)^(2)`
Hence, `v^(2)` versus `a^(2)` equation is a straight line with positive intercept and negative slope.

`F_(2) = K_(2)x_(1), F_(3) = K_(3)x = …… = K_(n)x`
`F_(1) + F_(2) + F_(3) + ….. + F_(n) = F`
`rArr K_(1)x + K_(2)x + K_(3)x + ...... + K_(n)x = K_(eq)x`

If `N_(0)` is the original mass of the substance of half - life period `t_(1//2) = 5 year` then the amount of substance left after `15` year isA. `(N_(0))/(8)`B. `(N_(0))/(16)`C. `(N_(0))/(2)`D. `(N_(0))/(4)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`N/N_(0)=(1/2)^(n)` where n are is number of half-lives. If `T_(1//2)=5` years then in `15` years, `n=3`
`implies N/N_(0)=(1/2)^(3)=1/8 implies N=N_(0)/8`

which a `U^(238)` nucleus original at rest , decay by emitting an alpha particle having a speed `u` , the recoil speed of the residual nucleus isA. `(4u)/(238)`B. `-(4u)/(234)`C. `(4u)/(234)`D. `-(4u)/(238)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`U^(238) rarr U^(234)+._(2)He^(4)`
Let recoil speed be V then by COLM
`234 V=4uimplies V=(4u)/234`

A particle of mass m is suspended with the help of a spring and an inextensible string as shown in the figure. Force constant of the spring is k. The particle is pulled down from its equilibrium position by a distance x and released. (a) Find maximum value of x for which the motion of the particle will remain simple harmonic. (b) Find maximum tension in the string if `x=(mg)/(2k)`

Answer» Correct Answer - (a) `(mg)/(k), (b) (3)/(2) mg`
