Question
A short magnet makes 40 oscillations per minute when used in an oscillation magnetometer at a place where the earth's horizontal magnetic field is $2\mu\text{T.}$ Another short magnet of magnetic moment $1.6A-m^2$ is placed 20cm east of the oscillating magnet. Find the new frequency of oscillation if the magnet has its north pole:
  1. Towards north.
  2. Towards south.

Answer

$\gamma_1=40$ oscillations/ minute$\text{B}_\text{H}=25\mu\text{T}$
m of second magnet = $1.6A-m^2$
d = 20cm = 0.2m
For north facing north
$\gamma_1=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{\text{MB}_{\text{H}}}{\text{I}}}$
$\gamma_2=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{\text{M}(\text{B}_{\text{H}}-\text{B})}{\text{I}}}$
$\text{B}=\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\frac{\text{m}}{\text{d}^3}=\frac{10^{-7}\times1.6}{8\times10^{-3}}=20\mu\text{T}$
$\frac{\gamma_1}{\gamma_2}=\sqrt{\frac{\text{B}}{\text{B}_{\text{H}-\text{B}}}}\Rightarrow\frac{40}{\gamma_2}=\sqrt{\frac{25}{5}}\Rightarrow\gamma_2=\frac{40}{\sqrt{5}}$
$=17.88\approx18\text{ osci/min}$
For north pole facing south
$\gamma_1=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{\text{MB}_{\text{H}}}{\text{I}}}$
$\gamma_2=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{\text{M}(\text{B}_{\text{H}}-\text{B})}{\text{I}}}$
$\frac{\gamma_1}{\gamma_2}=\sqrt{\frac{\text{B}}{\text{B}_{\text{H}-\text{B}}}}\Rightarrow\frac{40}{\gamma_2}=\sqrt{\frac{25}{45}}\Rightarrow\gamma_2=\frac{40}{\sqrt{\Big(\frac{25}{45}\Big)}}$
$=53.66\approx54\text{ osci/min}$

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from $1$ to $5.$ Friction: Let us return to the example of a body of mass m at rest on a horizontal table. The force of gravity $(mg)$ is cancelled by the normal reaction force $(N)$ of the table. Now suppose a force F is applied horizontally to the body. We know from experience that a small applied force may not be enough to move the body. But if the applied force F were the only external force on the body, it must move with acceleration F/m, however small. Clearly, the body remains at rest because some other force comes into play in the horizontal direction and opposes the applied force F, resulting in zero net force on the body. This force fs parallel to the surface of the body in contact with the table is known as frictional force, or simply friction. When there is no applied force, there is no static friction. It comes into play the moment there is an applied force. As the applied force $F$ increases, fs also increases, remaining equal and opposite to the applied force $($up to a certain limit$),$ keeping the body at rest. Hence, it is called static friction. Static friction opposes impending motion. The term impending motion means motion that would take place $($but does not actually take place$)$ under the applied force, if friction were absent. It is found experimentally that the limiting value of static friction $(fs )$ max f is independent of the area of contact and varies with the normal force$(N)$ approximately as: $(\text{f}_{\text{s}})\text{max}=\mu\text{N}$ where μs is a constant of proportionality depending only on the nature of the surfaces in contact. The constant μs is called the coefficient of static friction. The law of static friction may thus be written as $(\text{f}_{\text{s}})\leq\mu\text{sN}$ Frictional force that opposes relative motion between surfaces in contact is called kinetic or sliding friction and is denoted by $fk$. Kinetic friction, like static friction, is found to be independent of the area of contact. Further, it is nearly independent of the velocity. It satisfies a law similar to that for static friction: $(\text{f}_{\text{k}})=\mu_{\text{k}}\text{N}$

Transverse and Longitudinal Waves Transverse waves forms if the particles of the medium vibrate at right angle to the direction of wave motion energy propagation, the wave is called transverse wave. These are propagated as crests and troughs.

Longitudinal waves forms if the particles of the medium vibrate in the direction of wave motion, the wave is called longitudinal. These are propagated as compressions and rarefactions and wave is also known as pressure or compressional wave. Wave on spring or sound waves in air are examples of longitudinal waves.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from (i) to (v). Momentum and Newton’s Second Law of Motion Momentum of a body is the quantity of motion possessed by the body. It depends on the mass of the body and the velocity with which it moves. When a bullet is fired by a gun, it can easily pierce human tissue before coming to rest resulting in casualty. The same bullet fired with moderate speed will not cause much damage. The greater the change in momentum in a given time, the greater is the force that needs to be applied. The second law of motion refers to the general situation, where there is a net external force rating on the body.
