Q82
The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is T=2πLgT = 2\pi \sqrt {{L \over g}} . Measured value of 'L' is 1.0 m from meter scale having a minimum division of 1 mm and time of one complete oscillation is 1.95 s measured from stopwatch of 0.01 s resolution. The percentage error in the determination of 'g' will be :
A 1.30%
B 1.33%
C 1.13%
D 1.03%
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Given,

T=2πLgT = 2\pi \sqrt {{L \over g}}

.... (i) where, time period, T = 1.95 s Length of string, l = 1 m Acceleration due to gravity = g Error in time period,

Δ\Delta

T = 0.01 s = 10-2 s Error in length,

Δ\Delta

L = 1 mm = 1 ×\times 10-3 m Squaring Eq. (i) on both sides, we get

T2=4π2Lg{T^2} = 4{\pi ^2}{L \over g}
g=4π2LT2\Rightarrow g = 4{\pi ^2}{L \over {{T^2}}}
Δgg=ΔLL+2ΔTT=1031+2×1021.95\Rightarrow {{\Delta g} \over g} = {{\Delta L} \over L} + {{2\Delta T} \over T} = {{{{10}^{ - 3}}} \over 1} + {{2 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}} \over {1.95}}
=103+1.025×102= {10^{ - 3}} + 1.025 \times {10^{ - 2}}
=103+10.25×103= {10^{ - 3}} + 10.25 \times {10^{ - 3}}
=11.25×103= 11.25 \times {10^{ - 3}}

\because

Δg/g×100=11.25×103×102\Delta g/g \times 100 = 11.25 \times {10^{ - 3}} \times {10^2}
=1.125%1.13%= 1.125\% \simeq 1.13\%
Q83
A particle performs simple harmonic motion with amplitude A.A. Its speed is trebled at the instant that it is at a distance 2A3{{2A} \over 3} from equilibrium position. The new amplitude of the motion is:
A A3A\sqrt 3
B 7A3{{7A} \over 3}
C A341{A \over 3}\sqrt {41}
D 3A3A
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

We know that

V=ωA2x2V = \omega \sqrt {{A^2} - {x^2}}

Initially

v=ωA2(2A3)2v = \omega \sqrt {{A^2} - {{\left( {{{2A} \over 3}} \right)}^2}}

Finally

3v=ωAnew2(2A3)23v = \omega \sqrt {A_{new}^2 - {{\left( {{{2A} \over 3}} \right)}^2}}

where

Anew{A_{new}}

= final amplitude (Given at

x=2A3,x = {{2A} \over 3},

velocity to trebled) On dividing we get

31=Anew2(2A3)2A2(2A3)2{3 \over 1} = {{\sqrt {A_{new}^2 - {{\left( {{{2A} \over 3}} \right)}^2}} } \over {\sqrt {{A^2} - {{\left( {{{2A} \over 3}} \right)}^2}} }}
9[A24A29]=Anew24A299\left[ {{A^2} - {{4{A^2}} \over 9}} \right] = A_{new}^2 - {{4{A^2}} \over 9}

\therefore

Anew=7A3A_{new} = {{7A} \over 3}
Q84
Two simple harmonic motions are represented by the equations y1=0.1sin(100πt+π3){y_1} = 0.1\,\sin \left( {100\pi t + {\pi \over 3}} \right) and y2=0.1cosπt.{y_2} = 0.1\,\cos \,\pi t. The phase difference of the velocity of particle 11 with respect to the velocity of particle 22 is
A π3{\pi \over 3}
B π6{{ - \pi } \over 6}
C π6{\pi \over 6}
D π3{{ - \pi } \over 3}
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution
v1=dy1dt=0.1×100πcos(100πt+π3){v_1} = {{d{y_1}} \over {dt}} = 0.1 \times 100\pi \cos \left( {100\pi t + {\pi \over 3}} \right)
v2=dy2dt=0.1πsinπt=0.1πcos(πt+π2){v_2} = {{d{y_2}} \over {dt}} = - 0.1\pi sin\pi t = 0.1\pi cos\left( {\pi t + {\pi \over 2}} \right)

\therefore Phase diff.

=ϕ1ϕ2=π3π2=2π3π6=π6= {\phi _1} - {\phi _2} = {\pi \over 3} - {\pi \over 2} = {{2\pi - 3\pi } \over 6} = {\pi \over 6}
Q85
The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is T=2πLgT = 2\pi \sqrt {{L \over g}} . Measured value of L is 20.0 cm known to 1 mm accuracy and time for 100 oscillations of the pendulum is found to be 90 s using wrist watch of 1 s resolution. The accuracy in the determination of g is:
A 1 %
B 5 %
C 2 %
D 3 %
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Given

T=2πLgT = 2\pi \sqrt {{L \over g}}
g=4π2LT2\Rightarrow g = {{4{\pi ^2}L} \over {{T^2}}}
g=4π2Ln2t2\Rightarrow g = {{4{\pi ^2}L{n^2}} \over {{t^2}}}

[ as

T=tnT = {t \over n}

] So, percentage error in

=

Δgg×100=ΔLL×100+2Δtt×100{{\Delta g} \over g} \times 100 = {{\Delta L} \over L} \times 100 + 2{{\Delta t} \over t} \times 100

=

0.120.0×100+2×190×100{{0.1} \over {20.0}} \times 100 + 2 \times {1 \over {90}} \times 100

= 2.72 % = 3 %

Q86
An object of mass 0.5 kg is executing simple harmonic motion. It amplitude is 5 cm and time period (T) is 0.2 s. What will be the potential energy of the object at an instant t=T4st = {T \over 4}s starting from mean position. Assume that the initial phase of the oscillation is zero.
A 0.62 J
B 6.2 ×\times 10-3 J
C 1.2 ×\times 103 J
D 6.2 ×\times 103 J
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution
T=2πmkT = 2\pi \sqrt {{m \over k}}
0.2=2π0.5k0.2 = 2\pi \sqrt {{{0.5} \over k}}

k = 50π\pi2 \approx 500 x = A sin (ω\omegat + ϕ\phi) = 5 cm sin

(ωT4+0)\left( {{{\omega T} \over 4} + 0} \right)

= 5 cm sin

(π2)\left( {{\pi \over 2}} \right)

= 5 cm

PE=12kx2PE = {1 \over 2}k{x^2}
=12(500)(5100)2= {1 \over 2}(500){\left( {{5 \over {100}}} \right)^2}

= 0.6255

Q88
A rod of mass 'M' and length '2L' is suspended at its middle by a wire. It exhibits torsional oscillations; If two masses each of 'm' are attached at distance 'L/2' from its centre on both sides, it reduces the oscillation frequency by 20%. The value of radio m/M is close to :
A 0.77
B 0.57
C 0.37
D 0.17
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Initially : After putting 2 masses of each 'm' at a distance

L2{L \over 2}

from center : We know, Time period (T) = 2π\pi

IC\sqrt {{{\rm I} \over C}}

\therefore T \propto

I\sqrt {\rm I}

\therefore Frequency (f) \propto

1I\sqrt {{1 \over {\rm I}}}

\therefore

f1f2{{{f_1}} \over {{f_2}}}

=

I2I1\sqrt {{{{{\rm I}_2}} \over {{{\rm I}_1}}}}

Also given that, After putting two masses 'm' at both end new frequency becomes 80% of initial frequency. \therefore f2 = 0.8f1 \therefore

f10.8f1{{{f_1}} \over {0.8{f_1}}}

=

I2I1\sqrt {{{{{\rm I}_2}} \over {{{\rm I}_1}}}}

\therefore

I1I2{{{{{\rm I}_1}} \over {{{\rm I}_2}}}}

= 0.64 Initial moment of inertia of the system,

I1{{{\rm I}_1}}

=

M(2L)212{{M{{\left( {2L} \right)}^2}} \over {12}}

Final moment of inertia of the system, I2 =

M(2L)212{{M{{\left( {2L} \right)}^2}} \over {12}}

+ 2

(m(L2)2)\left( {m{{\left( {{L \over 2}} \right)}^2}} \right)

\therefore

M(2L)212{{M{{\left( {2L} \right)}^2}} \over {12}}

= 0.64

[ML23+mL22]\left[ {{{M{L^2}} \over 3} + {{m{L^2}} \over 2}} \right]

\Rightarrow

ML23×0.64{{M{L^2}} \over {3 \times 0.64}}

=

ML23{{M{L^2}} \over 3}

+

ML22{{M{L^2}} \over 2}

\Rightarrow

M1.92M3=m2{M \over {1.92}} - {M \over 3} = {m \over 2}

\Rightarrow

1.08M3×1.92{{1.08M} \over {3 \times 1.92}}

=

m2{m \over 2}

\Rightarrow

mM{m \over M}

=

1.08×23×1.92{{1.08 \times 2} \over {3 \times 1.92}}

= 0.37

Q89
A mass MM is suspended from a spring of negligible mass. The spring is pulled a little and then released so that the mass executes SHMSHM of time period T.T. If the mass is increased by m.m. the time period becomes 5T3{{5T} \over 3}. Then the ratio of mM{{m} \over M} is
A 35{3 \over 5}
B 259{25 \over 9}
C 169{16 \over 9}
D 53{5 \over 3}
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

The time period of a simple harmonic motion (SHM) performed by a mass-spring system is given by the formula:

T=2πMkT = 2\pi \sqrt{{M \over k}}

where: T is the time period, M is the mass of the object, and k is the spring constant.

We know that if the mass is increased by m, the time period becomes 5T3\dfrac{5T}{3}.

We can set up an equation for this new scenario:

5T3=2πM+mk\frac{5T}{3} = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M + m}{k}}

Since we know that T=2πMkT = 2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{M}{k}}, we can substitute T in the equation above:

532πMk=2πM+mk\frac{5}{3} \cdot 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M}{k}} = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M + m}{k}}

Squaring both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root, we get:

259Mk=M+mk\frac{25}{9} \cdot \frac{M}{k} = \frac{M + m}{k}

Solving for mM\dfrac{m}{M}, we get:

mM=2591=169\frac{m}{M} = \frac{25}{9} - 1 = \frac{16}{9}

C ω1=ω2{\omega _1} = {\omega _2}
D ω1<ω2{\omega _1} < {\omega _2}
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

The maximum of amplitude and energy is obtained when the frequency is equal to the natural frequency (resonance condition) \therefore

ω1=ω2{\omega _1} = {\omega _2}
