MCQ

A simple pendulum is hanging from a peg inserted in a vertical wall. Its bob is stretched in horizontal position from the wall and is left free to move. The bob hits on the wall the coefficient of restitution is $\frac{2}{{\sqrt 5 }}$. After how many collisions the amplitude of vibration will become less than $60°$

A

$3$
C
$5$
D
$4$

Answer

Correct option: B.

$3$

b
(b) From the relation of restitution $\frac{{{h_n}}}{{{h_0}}} = {e^{2n}}$ and
${h_n} = {h_0}(1 - \cos 60^\circ )$

$⇒$ $\frac{{{h_n}}}{{{h_0}}} = 1 - \cos 60^\circ = {\left( {\frac{2}{{\sqrt 5 }}} \right)^{2n}}$
$⇒$ $1 - \frac{1}{2} = {\left( {\frac{4}{5}} \right)^n}$

$⇒$ $\frac{1}{2} = {\left( {\frac{4}{5}} \right)^n}$
Taking log of both sides we get
$\log 1 - \log 2 = n(\log 4 - \log 5)$
$0 - 0.3010 = n(0.6020 - 0.6990)$
$ - \,0.3010 = - n \times 0.097$

==> $n = \frac{{0.3010}}{{0.097}} = 3.1 \approx 3$
