Physics - SHM Question with Solution | TestHub
Match the angular frequency (in ) in list-II with the system in list-I.
List - I | List - II |
|---|---|
(I) A uniform rod of length L hinged at A and by a vertical wire CD. End B is given a small horizontal displacement and then released. (Take ) | (P) 1 |
(II) A half section of uniform cylinder of radius r and mass m rests on two casters A and B, each of which is a uniform cylinder of radius r/4 and mass m/8. The half cylinder is rotated through a small angle and released and that no slipping occurs. (Take : ) | (Q) 4 |
(III) A thin plate of length rests on a half cylinder of radius . The plate is displaced by a small angle and released. Friction is sufficient to prevent sliding. (Take ) | (R) 2 |
(IV) A square plate of mass m is held by eight springs, each of constant k. The plate is rotated through a small angle about G and released. (Take ) | (S) 5 |
| (T) 3 |
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
(I) Wire tension by torque balance:
For a small angle, point C rises by .
(II) The half-cylinder centre remains fixed; its centre of mass is below it.
No slip makes each caster spin four times as fast.
(III) Source length: .
(IV) Each spring extends by .
