Q71
A particle executes simple harmonic motion between x=Ax=-A and x=+Ax=+A. If time taken by particle to go from x=0x=0 to A2\dfrac{A}{2} is 2 s; then time taken by particle in going from x=A2x=\dfrac{A}{2} to A is
A 4 s
B 1.5 s
C 3 s
D 2 s
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

x=Asin(ωt)x=A \sin (\omega t)

x=A2=Asin(ωt)12=sin(ωt)t=(π6ω)=2πω=12sec\begin{aligned} & x=\frac{A}{2}=A \sin (\omega t) \\\\ & \frac{1}{2}=\sin (\omega t) \\\\ & t=\left(\frac{\pi}{6 \omega}\right)=2 \\\\ & \frac{\pi}{\omega}=12 \sec \end{aligned}

x=A=Asin(ωt)x=A=A \sin (\omega t) ωt=(π2)\omega t=\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right) t=(π2ω)=6t=\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2 \omega}\right)=6 second time =62=4=6-2=4 seconds

Q72
Given below are two statements : Statement I : A second's pendulum has a time period of 1 second. Statement II : It takes precisely one second to move between the two extreme positions. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
A Both Statement I and Statement II are false
B Statement I is false but Statement II is true
C Both Statement I and Statement II are true
D Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

As we know time period of second’s penduklum is 2 sec, so statement (1) is incorrect.

Time taken by particle performing SHM between two extreme position is half of the time period.

Here, T = 2 sec.

So, time = 2/2 = 1 sec

Q73
Two simple pendulums having lengths l1l_1 and l2l_2 with negligible string mass undergo angular displacements θ1\theta_1 and θ2\theta_2, from their mean positions, respectively. If the angular accelerations of both pendulums are same, then which expression is correct?
A θ1l2=θ2l1\theta_1 l_2=\theta_2 l_1
B θ1l1=θ2l2\theta_1 l_1=\theta_2 l_2
C θ1l22=θ2l12\theta_1 l_2^2=\theta_2 l_1^2
D θ1l12=θ2l22\theta_1 l_1^2=\theta_2 l_2^2
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Angular Frequency: The angular frequency (ω\omega) of a simple pendulum is given by: ω=g \omega = \sqrt{\dfrac{g}{\ell}} where gg is the acceleration due to gravity and \ell is the pendulum length.

Angular Acceleration: The angular acceleration (α\alpha) can be expressed in terms of angular displacement (θ\theta) and angular frequency: α=ω2θ \alpha = -\omega^2 \theta Equating Angular Accelerations: Since the angular accelerations of the two pendulums are equal, we equate them: g1θ1=g2θ2 \dfrac{g}{\ell_1} \theta_1 = \dfrac{g}{\ell_2} \theta_2 Simplifying the Expression: By canceling out gg on both sides, we derive: θ12=θ21 \theta_1 \ell_2 = \theta_2 \ell_1 Thus, the correct expression that relates the displacements and lengths of the pendulums is θ12=θ21\theta_1 \ell_2 = \theta_2 \ell_1.

Q74
A child swinging on a swing in sitting position, stands up, then the time period of the swing will
A increase
B decrease
C remains same
D increases of the child is long and decreases if the child is short
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

KEY CONCEPT : The time period

T=2πgT = 2\pi \sqrt {{\ell \over g}}

where

\ell

== distance between the point of suspension and the center of mass of the child.

This distance decreases when the child stands \therefore

T<TT' < T

i.e., the period decreases.

Q75
The displacement of particle varies according to the relation x=4x=4(cosπt+sinπt).\left( {\cos \,\pi t + \sin \,\pi t} \right). The amplitude of the particle is
A 4-4
B 44
C 424\sqrt 2
D 88
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution
x=4(cosπt+sinπt)x = 4\left( {\cos \pi t + \sin \pi t} \right)
=2×4(sinπt2+cosπt2)= \sqrt 2 \times 4\left( {{{\sin \pi t} \over {\sqrt 2 }} + {{\cos \pi t} \over {\sqrt 2 }}} \right)
x=42sin(πt+45)x = 4\sqrt 2 \sin \left( {\pi t + {{45}^ \circ }} \right)
Q76
Two bodies A and B of equal mass are suspended from two massless springs of spring constant k1 and k2, respectively. If the bodies oscillate vertically such that their amplitudes are equal, the ratio of the maximum velocity of A to the maximum velocity of B is
A k2k1 \sqrt{\dfrac{k_2}{k_1}}
B k1k2 \sqrt{\dfrac{k_1}{k_2}}
C k2k1 \dfrac{k_2}{k_1}
D k1k2 \dfrac{k_1}{k_2}
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

We know, for an oscillation,

Vmax=wA{V_{\max }} = wA

.... (1) where, A = amplitude w = frequency of oscillation and

w=kmw = \sqrt {{k \over m}}

.... (2) from (1) and (2),

Vmax=kmA{V_{\max }} = \sqrt {{k \over m}} A
Vmaxk\Rightarrow {V_{\max }} \propto \sqrt k

(As m and A are same (or constant))

(Vmax)A(Vmax)B=k1k2\Rightarrow {{{{\left( {{V_{\max }}} \right)}_A}} \over {{{\left( {{V_{\max }}} \right)}_B}}} = \sqrt {{{{k_1}} \over {{k_2}}}}

Hence, option 2 is correct.

Q77
A particle at the end of a spring executes S.H.MS.H.M with a period t1{t_1}. While the corresponding period for another spring is t2{t_2}. If the period of oscillation with the two springs in series is TT then
A T1=t11+t21{T^{ - 1}} = t_1^{ - 1} + t_2^{ - 1}
B T2=t12+t22{T^2} = t_1^2 + t_2^2
C T=t1+t2T = {t_1} + {t_2}
D T2=t12+t22{T^{ - 2}} = t_1^{ - 2} + t_2^{ - 2}
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

For first spring,

t1=2πmk1,{t_1} = 2\pi \sqrt {{m \over {{k_1}}}} ,

For second spring,

t2=2πmk2{t_2} = 2\pi \sqrt {{m \over {{k_2}}}}

when springs are in series then,

keff=k1k2k1+k2{k_{eff}} = {{{k_1}{k_2}} \over {{k_1} + {k_2}}}

\therefore

T=2πm(k1+k2)k1k2T = 2\pi \sqrt {{{m\left( {{k_1} + {k_2}} \right)} \over {{k_1}{k_2}}}}

\therefore

T=2πmk2+mk1T = 2\pi \sqrt {{m \over {{k_2}}} + {m \over {{k_1}}}}
=2πt22(2π)2+t12(2π)2= 2\pi \sqrt {{{t_2^2} \over {{{\left( {2\pi } \right)}^2}}} + {{t_1^2} \over {{{\left( {2\pi } \right)}^2}}}}
T2=t12+t22\Rightarrow {T^2} = t_1^2 + t_2^2

In general equation of simple harmonic motion, y = A sin ω\omegat

\therefore\,\,\,

a = A sin ω\omegat0

\,\,\,\,\,\,

b = A sin 2ω\omegat0

\,\,\,\,\,\,\,

c = A sin 3ω\omegat0 a + c = A[sin ω\omegat0 + sin 3ω\omegat0] = 2A sin 2ω\omegat0 cosω\omegat0 \Rightarrow

\,\,\,

a + c = 2 b cosω\omegat0 \Rightarrow

\,\,\,
a+cb{{a + c} \over b}

= 2 cosω\omegat0 \Rightarrow

\,\,\,

ω\omega =

1t0{1 \over {{t_0}}}

cos-1

(a+c2b)\left( {{{a + c} \over {2b}}} \right)
\therefore\,\,\,

f =

ω2π{\omega \over {2\pi }}

(a+c2b)\left( {{{a + c} \over {2b}}} \right)
Q80
A block of mass 1 kg attached to a spring is made to oscillate with an initial amplitude of 12 cm. After 2 minutes the amplitude decreases to 6 cm. Determine the value of the damping constant for this motion . (take ln 2 = 0.693)
A 0.69 ×\times 102 kg s-1
B 3.3 ×\times 102 kg s-1
C 1.16 ×\times 10-2 kg s-1
D 5.7 ×\times 10-3 kg s-1
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution
A=Aoeb2mtA = {A_o}{e^{{{ - b} \over {2m}}t}}

\Rightarrow

6=12eb2×1×1206 = 12{e^{{{ - b} \over {2 \times 1}} \times 120}}

\Rightarrow

6=12eb×606 = 12{e^{ - b \times 60}}

\Rightarrow

12=e60b{1 \over 2} = {e^{ - 60b}}

\Rightarrow

ln(2)=60b\ln (2) = 60b

\Rightarrow

b=ln(2)60=1.16×102b = {{\ln (2)} \over {60}} = 1.16 \times {10^2}
