Question
An ideal thermometer should have

Answer

(c) The thermometer has to attain the temperature of the body. To do this, it should draw as little heat from the body as possible, so that the existing temperature of the body is not disturbed.

A frame of reference that is accelerated with respect to an inertial frame of reference is called a non-inertial frame of reference. A coordinate system fixed on a circular disc rotating about a fixed axis with a constant angular velocity $\omega$ is an example of a non-intertial fiame of reference. The relationship between the force $\vec{F}_{\text {rot }}$ experienced by a particle of nass in moving on the rotating disc and the force $\vec{F}_{\text {in }}$ experienced by the particle in an inertial frame of reference is

$\vec{F}_{\text {rot }}=\vec{F}_{\text {in }}+2 m\left(\vec{v}_{\text {rot }} \times \vec{\omega}\right)+m(\vec{\omega} \times \vec{r}) \times \vec{\omega},$

where $\vec{v}_{\text {rot }}$ is the velocity of the particle in the rotating frame of reference and $\bar{r}$ is the position vector of the particle with respect to the centre of the disc.

Now consider a smooth slot along a diameter of a disc of radius $R$ rotating counter-clockwise with a constant angular speed $\omega$ about its vertical axis through its center. We assign a coordinate system with the origin at the center of the disc, the $x$-axis along the slot, the $y$-axis perpendicular to the slot and the $z$-axis along the rotation axis $(\vec{\omega}=\omega \hat{k})$. A sm a $1$ block of mass $m$ is gently placed in the slot at $\vec{r}=(R / 2) \hat{i}$ at $t=0$ and is constrained to move only along the slot.

($1$) The distance $r$ of the block at time $t$ is

($A$) $\frac{R}{4}\left(e^{\omega t}+e^{-\omega t}\right)$   ($B$) $\frac{R}{2} \cos \omega t$   ($C$) $\frac{R}{4}\left(e^{2 \omega t}+e^{-2 \omega t}\right)$

($D$) $\frac{F}{2} \cos 2 \omega t$

($2$) The net reaction of the disc on the block is

($A$) $\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 R\left(e^{2 \omega t}-e^{-2 \omega t}\right) \hat{j}+m g \hat{k}$

($B$) $\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 R\left(e^{\omega t}-e^{-a t t}\right) j+m g k$

($C$) $-m \omega^2 R \cos \omega t \hat{j}-m g \hat{k}$

($D$) $m \omega^2 R \sin \omega t \hat{j}-m g \hat{k}$
