MCQ
A particle moves in space along the path $z = ax^3 + by^2$ in such a way that $\frac{dx}{dt} = c = \frac{dy}{dt}.$ Where $a, b$ and $c$ are contants. The acceleration of the  particle is
  • $(6ac^2x + 2bc^2 ) \, \widehat k$
  • B
    $(2ax^2 + 6by^2 ) \, \widehat k$
  • C
    $(4bc^2x + 3ac^2 )\, \widehat k$
  • D
    $(bc^2x + 2by) \, \widehat k$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$(6ac^2x + 2bc^2 ) \, \widehat k$
a
Given that $:$

$x-axis$ is perpendicular to plane inwards

$\frac{\mathrm{dx}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{c} \quad \therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{d}^{2} \mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{dt}^{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{d}^{2} \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dt}^{2}}=0$

Further $z=a x^{3}+b y^{2}$

$\therefore \quad \frac{d z}{d t}=3 a x^{2} \frac{d x}{d t}+2 b y \frac{d y}{d t}$

$=3 a c x^{2}+2 b c y\left[\frac{d x}{d t}=c=\frac{d y}{d t}\right]$

$\therefore \frac{\mathrm{d}^{2} z}{\mathrm{dt}^{2}}=6 \mathrm{acx}\left[\frac{\mathrm{dx}}{\mathrm{dt}}\right]+2 \mathrm{bc}\left[\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dt}}\right]=6 \mathrm{ac}^{2} \mathrm{x}+2 \mathrm{bc}^{2}$

Now acceleration of particle is

$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}=\frac{\mathrm{d}^{2} \mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{dt}^{2}} \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\frac{\mathrm{d}^{2} \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dt}^{2}} \hat{\mathrm{j}}+\frac{\mathrm{d}^{2} \mathrm{z}}{\mathrm{dt}^{2}} \hat{\mathrm{k}}=\left(6 \mathrm{ac}^{2} \mathrm{x}+2 \mathrm{bc}^{2}\right) \hat{\mathrm{k}}$

Young's modulus is determined by the equation given by $\mathrm{Y}=49000 \frac{\mathrm{m}}{\ell} \frac{\text { dyne }}{\mathrm{cm}^2}$ where $\mathrm{M}$ is the mass and $\ell$ is the extension of wre used in the experiment. Now error in Young modules $(\mathrm{Y})$ is estimated by taking data from $M-\ell$ plot in graph paper. The smallest scale divisions are $5 \mathrm{~g}$ and $0.02$ $\mathrm{cm}$ along load axis and extension axis respectively. If the value of $M$ and $\ell$ are $500 \mathrm{~g}$ and $2 \mathrm{~cm}$ respectively then percentage error of $\mathrm{Y}$ is :
