Physics - EMI/AC Question with Solution | TestHub
A mass is attached to a spring of stiffness and a dashpot with damping coefficient . An external force acts on the mass. Let be the natural angular frequency. Match the quantities in List-I with their corresponding expressions in List-II.
List - I | List - II |
|---|---|
(P) Amplitude of steady-state oscillations when the driving frequency is | (1) |
(Q) Phase lag of displacement relative to the driving force at very high frequencies (i.e., ) | (2) |
(R) Average power dissipated by the dashpot at resonance (frequency of maximum displacement amplitude) | (3) |
(S) Frequency at which the velocity amplitude is maximum | (4) |
(5) | |
(6) |
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
P: The displacement amplitude for forced oscillations is . When , . Thus (P)-(1). Q: The phase lag is given by . For , . As , . Since the denominator is negative, approaches . Thus (Q)-(5). R: The average power dissipated by the dashpot is . At displacement resonance, , where . Substituting this, . Thus (R)-(3). S: The velocity amplitude is maximum at the natural frequency . This is known as velocity resonance. Thus (S)-(6).
