MCQ
A spring having a spring constant $‘K’$ is loaded with a mass $‘m’$. The spring is cut into two equal parts and one of these is loaded again with the same mass. The new spring constant is
- A$\frac{K}{2}$
- B$K$
- ✓$2K$
- D${K^2}$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$2K$
c
(c) Spring constant $(k) \propto \frac{1}{{{\rm{Length \,of \,the \,spirng\, (}}l{\rm{)}}}}$ as length becomes half, $k$ becomes twice is $2k$.

A suspension bridge is to be built across valley where it is known that the wind can gust at $5 \,s$ intervals. It is estimated that the speed of transverse waves along the span of the bridge would be $400 \,m / s$. The danger of resonant motions in the bridge at its fundamental frequency would be greater if the span had a length of .......... $m$

A vibrating string of certain length $\ell$ under a tension $\mathrm{T}$ resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length $75 \mathrm{~cm}$ inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates $4$ beats per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency $\mathrm{n}$. Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces $2$ per second. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be $340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$, the frequency $\mathrm{n}$ of the tuning fork in $\mathrm{Hz}$ is

→$Assertion$ : There is a stage when frictional force is not needed at all to provide the necessary centripetal force on a banked road.
$Reason$ : On a banked road, due to its inclination the vehicle tends to remain inwards without any chances of skidding.
