MCQ
From a solid sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$ a cube of maximum possible volume is cut. Moment of inertia of cube about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to one of its faces is
  • A
    $\frac{{M{R^2}}}{{16\sqrt 2 \pi }}$
  • $\frac{{4M{R^2}}}{{9\sqrt 3 \pi }}$
  • C
    $\;\frac{{4M{R^2}}}{{3\sqrt 3 \pi }}$
  • D
    $\;\frac{{M{R^2}}}{{32\sqrt 2 \pi }}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{{4M{R^2}}}{{9\sqrt 3 \pi }}$
b
$\begin{array}{l}
Here\,a = \frac{2}{{\sqrt 3 }}R\\
Now,\frac{M}{{M'}} = \frac{{\frac{4}{3}\pi {R^3}}}{{{a^3}}}\\
 = \frac{{\frac{4}{3}\pi {R^3}}}{{{{\left( {\frac{2}{{\sqrt 3 }}R} \right)}^3}}} = \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}\pi .\,M' = \frac{{2M}}{{\sqrt 3 \pi }}
\end{array}$

Moment of inertia of the cube about the given axis,

$I = \frac{{M'{a^2}}}{6} = \frac{{\frac{{2M}}{{\sqrt 3 \pi }} \times {{\left( {\frac{2}{{\sqrt R }}R} \right)}^2}}}{6} = \frac{{4M{R^2}}}{{9\sqrt 3 \pi }}$

$S_1$ and $S_2$ are two identical sound sources of frequency $656 Hz$. The source $S_1$ is located at $O$ and $S_2$ moves anti-clockwise with a uniform speed $4 \sqrt{2} ms ^{-1}$ on a circular path around $O$, as shown in the figure. There are three points $P, Q$ and $R$ on this path such that $P$ and $R$ are diametrically opposite while $Q$ is equidistant from them. A sound detector is placed at point $P$. The source $S_1$ can move along direction $O P$.

[Given: The speed of sound in air is $324 ms ^{-1}$ ]

($1$) When only $S_2$ is emitting sound and it is $Q$, the frequency of sound measured by the detector in $Hz$ is. . . . . .

($2$) Consider both sources emitting sound. When $S_2$ is at $R$ and $S_1$ approaches the detector with a speed $4 ms ^{-1}$, the beat frequency measured by the detector is $\qquad$ $Hz$.
