MCQ
A wire is stretched between two rigid supports vibrates in its fundamental mode with a frequency of $50\,\, Hz$ . The mass of the wire is $30\,\, g$ and its linear density is $4\, \times \, 10^{-2}\,\, kg/m$ . The speed of the transverse wave at the string is  ...... $ms^{-1}$
  • A
    $25$
  • B
    $50$
  • $75$
  • D
    $100$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$75$
c
Here, mass of the wire, $M=30 \mathrm{\,g}=30 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{\,kg}$

Mass per unit length of the wire.

$\mu=4 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{\,kg} \mathrm{m}^{-1}$

$\therefore $ length of the wire, $L=\frac{M}{\mu}$

$=\frac{30 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{\,kg}}{4 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{\,kgm}^{-1}}=0.75 \mathrm{\,m}$

For the fundamental mode $\frac{\lambda}{2}=L$

$\Rightarrow \lambda=2 \mathrm{L}=2 \times 0.75=1.5 \mathrm{\,m}$

Speed of the transverse wave.

$\mathrm{v}=\mathrm{n} \lambda=\left(50 \mathrm{\,s}^{-1}\right)(1.5 \mathrm{\,m})=75 \mathrm{\,ms}^{-1}$

A student performs an experiment of measuring the thickness of a slab with a vernier calliper whose $50$ divisions of the vernier scale are equal to $49$ divisions of the main scale. He noted that zero of the vernier scale is between $7.00\; cm$ and $7.05 \;cm$ mark of the main scale and $23^rd$ division of the vernier scale exactly coincides with the main scale. The measured value of the thickness of the given slab using the calliper will be
When a particle of mass $m$ moves on the $x$-axis in a potential of the form $V(x)=\mathrm{kx}^2$ it performs simple harmonic motion. The corresponding time period is proportional to $\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{k}}}$, as can be seen easily using dimensional analysis. However, the motion of a particle can be periodic even when its potential energy increases on both sides of $\mathrm{x}=0$ in a way different from $\mathrm{kx}^2$ and its total energy is such that the particle does not escape to infinity. Consider a particle of mass $\mathrm{m}$ moving on the $x$-axis. Its potential energy is $V(x)=\alpha x^4(\alpha>0)$ for $|x|$ near the origin and becomes a constant equal to $\mathrm{V}_0$ for $|x| \geq X_0$ (see figure). $Image$
