The time period of simple pendulum of length $$1\,m$$ suspended in a car that is moving with constant speed $$36\,km/hr$$ around a circle of radius $$10\,m$$ is:
Compare the time period of two different oscillation.
Time period of simple pendulum
$$T = 2\pi \sqrt {\left( {\frac{l}{g}} \right)} \propto \sqrt l $$
where, $$l$$ is effective length.
(i.e. distance between centre of suspension and centre of gravity of bob)
Initially, centre of gravity is at the centre of sphere [Fig. (a)]. When water leaks the centre of gravity goes down until it is half-filled [Fig. (b)], then it begins to go up and finally it again goes at the centre [Fig. (c)]. That is effective length first increases and then decreases. As $$T \propto \sqrt l ,$$ so time period first increases and then decreases.

A body executing linear simple harmonic motion has a velocity of $$3\,m/s$$ when its displacement is $$4\,cm$$ and a velocity of $$4\,m/s$$ when its displacement is $$3\,cm.$$ What is the amplitude of oscillation?
$$\eqalign{
& {v^2} = {\omega ^2}\left( {{A^2} - {x^2}} \right)\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right) \cr
& {\text{and}}\,\,{a^2} = \left( {{\omega ^2}{x^2}} \right) = {\omega ^4}{x^2}\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right) \cr} $$
From above equations, we have
$${v^2} = - \frac{{{a^2}}}{{{\omega ^2}}} + {\omega ^2}{A^2} \Rightarrow y = mx + c$$
It represents straight line with negative slope.

When two displacements represented by $${y_1} = a\sin \left( {\omega t} \right)$$ and $${y_2} = b\cos \left( {\omega t} \right)$$ are superimposed, the motion is
A
not a simple harmonic
B
simple harmonic with amplitude $$\frac{a}{b}$$
C
simple harmonic with amplitude $$\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} $$
D
simple harmonic with amplitude $$\frac{{\left( {a + b} \right)}}{2}$$
Given, $${y_1} = a\sin \omega t$$
$${y_2} = b\cos \omega t = b\sin \left( {\omega t + \frac{\pi }{2}} \right)$$
The resultant displacement is given by
$$y = {y_1} + {y_2} = \sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} \sin \left( {\omega t + \phi } \right)$$
Hence, the motion of superimposed wave is simple harmonic with amplitude $$\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} .$$

A rectangular block of mass $$m$$ and area of cross-section $$A$$ floats in a liquid of density $$\rho .$$ If it is given a small vertical displacement from equilibrium, it undergoes oscillation with a time period $$T.$$ Then
Let block be displaced through $$x$$ $$m,$$ then weight of displaced water or upthrust, (upwards) is given by Archimedes principle
$${F_b} = - Ax\rho g$$
where, $$A$$ is the area of cross-section of the block and $$\rho $$ is its density. This must be equal to force $$\left( { = ma} \right)$$ applied, where, $$m$$ is the mass of the block and $$a$$ is the acceleration.
$$\therefore ma = - Ax\rho g\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,a = - \frac{{A\rho g}}{m}x = - {\omega ^2}x$$
This is the equation of simple harmonic motion. Time period of oscillation,
$$\eqalign{
& T = \frac{{2\pi }}{\omega } = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{m}{{A\rho g}}} \cr
& \Rightarrow T \propto \frac{1}{{\sqrt A }} \cr} $$

A pendulum made of a uniform wire of cross sectional area $$A$$ has time period $$T.$$ When an additional mass $$M$$ is added to its bob, the time period changes to $${T_M}.$$ If the Young's modulus of the material of the wire is $$Y$$ then $$\frac{1}{Y}$$ is equal to:
($$g$$ = gravitational acceleration)
A
$$\left[ {1 - {{\left( {\frac{{{T_M}}}{T}} \right)}^2}} \right]\frac{A}{{Mg}}$$
B
$$\left[ {1 - {{\left( {\frac{T}{{{T_M}}}} \right)}^2}} \right]\frac{A}{{Mg}}$$
C
$$\left[ {{{\left( {\frac{{{T_M}}}{T}} \right)}^2} - 1} \right]\frac{A}{{Mg}}$$
D
$$\left[ {{{\left( {\frac{{{T_M}}}{T}} \right)}^2} - 1} \right]\frac{{Mg}}{A}$$

Two springs, of force constants $${k_1}$$ and $${k_2}$$ are connected to a mass $$m$$ as shown. The frequency of oscillation of the mass is $$f.$$ If both $${k_1}$$ and $${k_2}$$ are made four times their original values, the frequency of oscillation becomes
For a particle executing $$SHM$$
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Acceleration}}\left( a \right) \propto - {\omega ^2}{\text{displacement}}\left( x \right)\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right) \cr
& {\text{Given}}\,x = a{\sin ^2}\omega t\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right) \cr} $$
Differentiating the above equation w.r.t, we get
$$\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = 2a\omega \left( {\sin \omega t} \right)\left( {\cos \omega t} \right)$$
Again differentiating, we get
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{{d^2}x}}{{d{t^2}}} = a = 2a{\omega ^2}\left[ {{{\cos }^2}\omega t - {{\sin }^2}\omega t} \right] \cr
& = 2a{\omega ^2}\cos 2\omega t \cr} $$
The given equation does not satisfy the condition for $$SHM$$ (Eq. (i)]. Therefore, motion is not simple harmonic.

A block rests on a horizontal table which is executing $$SHM$$ in the horizontal plane with an amplitude $$'a'.$$ If the coefficient of friction is $$'\mu ',$$ then the block just starts to slip when the frequency of oscillation is
For the block is about to slip, $$\mu g = {\omega ^2}a$$
$$\omega = \sqrt {\frac{{\mu g}}{a}} \Rightarrow v = \frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{\mu g}}{a}} $$
