MCQ
A body executing simple harmonic motion has a maximum acceleration equal to $ 24\,metres/se{c^2} $ and maximum velocity equal to $ 16\;metres/sec $. The amplitude of the simple harmonic motion is
  • $\frac{{32}}{3}\,metres$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{{32}}\,metres$
  • C
    $\frac{{1024}}{9}\,metres$
  • D
    $\frac{{64}}{9}\,metres$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac{{32}}{3}\,metres$
a
(a) Maximum velocity $ = a\omega = 16$ 

Maximum acceleration $ = {\omega ^2}a = 24$ 

$ \Rightarrow a = \frac{{{{(a\omega )}^2}}}{{{\omega ^2}a}} = \frac{{16 \times 16}}{{24}} = \frac{{32}}{3}m$

An open pipe is in resonance in its $2^{nd}$ harmonic with tuning fork of frequency ${f_1}$. Now it is closed at one end. If the frequency of the tuning fork is increased slowly from ${f_1}$ then again a resonance is obtained with a frequency ${f_2}$. If in this case the pipe vibrates ${n^{th}}$ harmonics then

An ideal gas, initially in state $\left( P _{12}, V _1, T _1\right)$ is expanded isobarically to $\left( P _{12}, V _2, T _2\right)$, then adiabatically $\left( P _{34}, V _3, T _3\right)$. It is then contracted isobarically to $\left( P _{34}, V _4, T _4\right)$ and finally adiabatically back to the initial state. The efficiency of this cycle is
