Question

Define the restoring force and it characteristic in case of an oscillating body.

✓

Answer

A force which takes the body back towards the mean position in oscillation is called restoring force.
Characteristic of restoring force: The restoring force is always directed towards the mean position and its magnitude of any instant is directly proportional to the displacement of the particle from its mean position of that instance.

A calorie is a unit of heat (energy in transit) and it equals about $4.2 J$ where $1J = 1kg m^2 s^{–2}$. Suppose we employ a system of units in which the unit of mass equals $\alpha\text{ kg},$ the unit of length equals $\beta\text{ m},$ the unit of time is $\gamma\text{ s}.$ Show that a calorie has a magnitude $4.2\ \alpha^{-1}\ \beta^{-2}\ \gamma^2$ in terms of the new units.

A body is projected vertically upwards from A, the top of a tower it reaches the ground in it $t_1$, second. If it is projected vertically downwards from A with the same velocity it reaches the ground in $t_2$ second. If it falls freely, from A, prove that it would reach the ground in $\sqrt{\text{t}_1\text{t}_2}$ second.
