MCQ
The displacement of a particle is given at time $t$, by:$x=A \sin (-2 \omega t)+B \sin ^2 \omega t \quad$ Then,
  • the motion of the particle is SHM with an amplitude of $\sqrt{A^2+\frac{B^2}{4}}$
  • B
    the motion of the particle is not SHM, but oscillatory with a time period of $T=\pi / \omega$
  • C
    the motion of the particle is oscillatory with a time period of $T=\pi / 2 \omega$
  • D
    the motion of the particle is a periodic.

Answer

Correct option: A.
the motion of the particle is SHM with an amplitude of $\sqrt{A^2+\frac{B^2}{4}}$
a
(a)

The displacement of the particle is given by:

$x  =A \sin (-2 \omega t)+B \sin ^2 \omega t$

$=-A \sin 2 \omega t+\frac{B}{2}(1-\cos 2 \omega t)$

$=-\left(A \sin 2 \omega t+\frac{B}{2} \cos 2 \omega t\right)+\frac{B}{2}$

This motion represents SHM with an amplitude: $\sqrt{A^2+\frac{B^2}{4}}$, and mean position $\frac{B}{2}$

Stokes' law states that the viscous drag force $F$ experienced by a sphere of radius $a$, moving with a speed $v$ through a fluid with coefficient of viscosity $\eta$, is given by $F=6 \pi \eta a v$. If this fluid is flowing through a cylindrical pipe of radius $r$, length $l$ and pressure difference of $p$ across its two ends, then the volume of water $V$ which flows through the pipe in time $t$ can be written as $\frac{V}{t}=k\left(\frac{p}{l}\right)^a \eta^b r^c$, where $k$ is a dimensionless constant. Correct values of $a, b$ and $c$ are
