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-m2 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-m2

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

$\gamma_1=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{\text{MB}_{\text{H}}}{\text{I}}}$

$\gamma_2=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{\text{M}(\text{B}_{\text{H}}-\text{B})}{\text{I}}}$

$\frac{\gamma_1}{\gamma_2}=\sqrt{\frac{\text{B}}{\text{B}_{\text{H}-\text{B}}}}\Rightarrow\frac{40}{\gamma_2}=\sqrt{\frac{25}{45}}\Rightarrow\gamma_2=\frac{40}{\sqrt{\Big(\frac{25}{45}\Big)}}$

$=53.66\approx54\text{ osci/min}$

A plumb bob is hung from the ceiling of a train compartment. If the train moves with an acceleration 'a' along a straight horizontal track, the string supporting the bob makes an angle $\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\text{a}}{\text{g}}\Big)$ with the normal to the ceiling. Suppose the train moves on an inclined straight track with uniform velocity. If the angle of incline is $\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\text{a}}{\text{g}}\Big),$ the string again makes the same angle with the normal to the ceiling. Can a person sitting inside the compartment tell by looking at the plumb line whether the train is accelerated on a horizontal straight track or it is going on an incline? If yes, how? If no, suggest a method to do so.

All engineering phenomena deal with definite and measured quantities and so depend on the making of the measurement. We must be
clear and precise in making these measurements. To make a measurement, magnitude of the physical quantity (unknown) is compared.
The record of a measurement consists of three parts, i.e. the dimension of the quantity, the unit which represents a standard quantity and a number which is the ratio of the measured quantity to the standard quantity.

Principle of Conservation of Energy:
Total energy of an isolated system always remains constant. Since, the universe as a whole may be viewed as an isolated system, total energy of the universe is constant. If one part of the universe loses energy, then other part must gain an equal amount of energy. The principle of conservation of energy cannot be proved as such. However, no violation of this principle has been observed.
