One end of a long metallic wire of length $L$ is tied to the ceiling. The other end is tied to massless spring of spring constant $K$. A mass $ m$ hangs freely from the free end of the spring. The area of cross-section and Young's modulus of the wire are $A$ and $Y$ respectively. If the mass is slightly pulled down and released, it will oscillate with a time period $T$ equal to
  • A$2\pi \left( {\frac{m}{K}} \right)$
  • B$2\pi {\left\{ {\frac{{(YA + KL)m}}{{YAK}}} \right\}^{1/2}}$
  • C$2\pi \frac{{mYA}}{{KL}}$
  • D$2\pi \frac{{mL}}{{YA}}$

    Phase space diagrams are useful tools in analyzing all kinds of dynamical problems. They are especially useful in studying the changes in motion as initial position and momentum are changed. Here we consider some simple dynamical systems in one-dimension. For such systems, phase space is a plane in which position is plotted along horizontal axis and momentum is plotted along vertical axis. The phase space diagram is $x(t)$ vs. $p(t)$ curve in this plane. The arrow on the curve indicates the time flow. For example, the phase space diagram for a particle moving with constant velocity is a straight line as shown in the figure. We use the sign convention in which position or momentum upwards (or to right) is positive and downwards (or to left) is negative. $Image$
