MCQ
A pendulum clock keeps correct time at $0°C$. Its mean coefficient of linear expansions is $\alpha /^\circ C$, then the loss in seconds per day by the clock if the temperature rises by $t°C$ is
  • A
    $\frac{{\frac{1}{2}\alpha \,t \times 864000}}{{1 - \frac{{\alpha \,t}}{2}}}$
  • $\frac{1}{2}\alpha \,t \times \,86400$
  • C
    $\frac{{\frac{1}{2}\alpha \,t \times 86400}}{{{{\left( {1 - \,\frac{{\alpha \,t}}{2}} \right)}^2}}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{\frac{1}{2}\alpha \,t \times 86400}}{{1 + \frac{{\alpha \,t}}{2}}}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{1}{2}\alpha \,t \times \,86400$
b
(b) Loss in time per second $\frac{{\Delta T}}{T} = \frac{1}{2}\alpha \Delta \theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha \,(t - 0)$

$\Rightarrow$ loss in time per day

$\Delta t = \left( {\frac{1}{2}\alpha t} \right)\,t = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t \times (24 \times 60 \times 60) = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t \times 86400$

A source $(S)$ of sound has frequency $240 \ Hz$. When the observer $(O)$ and the source move towards each other at a speed $v$ with respect to the ground (as shown in Case $1$ in the figure), the observer measures the frequency of the sound to be $288 \ Hz$. However, when the observer and the source move away from each other at the same speed $v$ with respect to the ground (as shown in Case $2$ in the figure), the observer measures the frequency of sound to be $n Hz$.
