Question 42 Marks
A body hanging from a spring can oscillate in a horizontal plane with angular velocity $\omega$ without friction or damping when it is stretched to a distance and then released. It passes through the equilibrium center with a velocity at time $t=0$. Find the amplitude of the resultant oscillation in terms of parameter $\omega_0, x_0$ and $v_0$.
[Hint : The equation $x=a \cos (\omega t+\theta)$ is negative keep in mind that the initial]
Answer
Let at any time t
$x=A \cos (\omega t+\theta)$
$A =$ Amplitude, $\theta=$ initial phase angle
Velocity $\frac{d x}{d t}=- A \omega \sin (\omega t +\theta)$
when $t=0, x=x_0$ and $\frac{d x}{d t}=- v _0$

Question 102 Marks
How is the value of spring constant affected when several small indentical spring are combined (i) in series and (ii) in parallel?
Answer
When we combine several small identical spring in series, then the value of the effective spring constant $k$ of the combination becomes $\frac{1}{n}$ times the each small spring.
Here $n$ is the number of small identical spring. That is, compared $\frac{1}{n}$ to spring connected in parallel, the effective force constant is equal to the sum of the force constant of each spring.

Question 112 Marks
Write the time period formula of a simple pendulum. Which factor affect the period?
Answer
Oscillation period $T =2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$
It is clear that the oscillation period of a simple pendulum is proportional to the square roots of its effective length and inversely proportional to the square root of the gravitational acceleration g. It happens due to change in the value of gravitational acceleration g, the oscillation period is also affected. The period of oscillation does not depend on the mass of the sphere. Changing the length of a simple pendulum also affects the periods of oscillations.

Question 122 Marks
Find the value of percentage change in the time period of the simple pendulum in the following situations :
(i) By increasing the length of pendulum by $5 \%$
(ii) On increasing the mass of the pendulum by $5\%$
(iii) By reducing the amplitude of pendulum by $5\%.$
Answer
We know
$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\ldots\ldots (1)$
Here the length of pendulum is $l$ and the time period s T.
(i) On differentiation
$d T=\frac{2 \pi}{\sqrt{g}} \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{l}} d l\ldots\ldots (2)$
Equation (2) divided by (1)
$\begin{aligned}\frac{dT}{T} & =\frac{\frac{2 \pi}{\sqrt{g}} \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{l}} d l}{\frac{2 \pi}{\sqrt{g}} \sqrt{l}} \\\frac{dT}{T} & =\frac{d l}{2 l}\end{aligned}$
$\frac{dT}{T} \times 100 \%=\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{d l}{l} \times 100 \%\right]$
Given : $\quad \frac{d l}{l} \times 100=5$
$\frac{dT}{T} \times 100=\frac{5}{2}$
Hence, percentage increase in time period is $=2.5 \%$.
(ii) The time period does not depend on the mass of the pendulum, hence it the mass in increased the time period will remain the same.
(iii) The period does not depend on the amplitude of the motion, hence if the amplitude is reduced the period will remain.
Hence, percentage change zero.

Question 132 Marks
Two pendulum of length 1.00 and 1.1025 meters start vibrating simultaneously. After how many oscillations will they start oscillating together again ?
Answer
Let the period of both length be $T_1$ and $T_2$. To oscillate together again, there must be a difference of 1 between two oscillations. If the big pendulum oscillation in this time interval then the oscillations of the small pendulum will be $(n+1)$, i.e.
$n T_2=(n+1) T_1\ldots\dots (1)$
As per question
$T_1=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l_1}{g}}$
$\begin{aligned}T_2 & =2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l_2}{g}} \\\therefore \quad \frac{T_1}{T_2} & =\sqrt{\frac{l_1}{l_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{1.00}{1.1025}}=\frac{1}{1.05} \\\frac{T_1}{T_2} & =\frac{1}{1.05}\ldots \ldots (2)\end{aligned}$
From the equation (1) and (2)
$\begin{aligned}\frac{n}{n+1} & =\frac{1}{1.05} \\1.05 n & =n+1 \\1.05 n-n & =1 \\0.05 n & =1 \\n & =\frac{1}{0.05} \text { so, } n=20\end{aligned}$
Hence, 20 of the big pendulum and after 21 oscillations of the small pendulum they will oscillate together again.

Question 152 Marks
The period of simple harmonic motion of a body suspended from a spring is cut the spring into two equal parts.
(a) Hang the same body from one spring and make it oscillate, then find the time period.
(b) What will be the period of oscillation if both the pieces are connected in parallel and oscillated?
Answer
(a) Let the force of spring constant is $k$ and the mass of the body is $m$. Then the time period will be
$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}\ldots\ldots (1)$
Now the spring is divided into two equal parts. For this reason, the force constant of spring will be $2 k$ and the time period is considered to be $T ^1$.
$T^{\prime}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{2 k}}\ldots\ldots (2)$
Equation (1) divided by (2)
$\begin{aligned}\frac{T}{T^{\prime}} & =\frac{2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}}{2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{2 k}}} \\\frac{T}{T^{\prime}} & =\sqrt{2} \\T^{\prime} & =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} T\end{aligned}$
(b) When the spring of constant $k$ is divided into two parts, the spring constant of each piece becomes $2 k$. By combining 2 pieces of these 2 constant in parallel, the effective result is
$\begin{aligned}k^{\prime} & =2 k+2 k=4 k \\\text { Time period } T^{\prime} & =2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k^{\prime}}} \\T^{\prime} & =2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{4 k}}\end{aligned}$
$\begin{array}{l} T ^{\prime}=\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{ k }} \\ T =2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{ k }} \\ T ^{\prime}=\frac{1}{2} T\end{array}$

Question 162 Marks
Show that for a particle performing linear simple harmonic motion, the average kinetic energy of any period of oscillation is equal to the average potential energy of the same period.
Answer
Suppose a particle of mass performs simple harmonic motion for time period T. At the instant when time is measured from the mean position, the displacement of the particle is
$y=a \sin \omega t\ldots\ldots (1)$
We know that
$\begin{aligned}v & =\text { Velocity of particle } \\& =\frac{d y}{d t}=\frac{d}{d t}(a \sin \omega t) \\v & =a \omega \cos \omega t \ldots\ldots(2) \\KE, E_k & =\frac{1}{2} m v^2=\frac{1}{2} m(a \omega \cos \omega t)^2 \\& =\frac{1}{2} m a^2 \omega^2 \cos ^2 \omega t \\\text { P.E., } E_p & =\frac{1}{2} ky^2=\frac{1}{2} k(a \sin \omega t)^2 \\E_p & =\frac{1}{2} ka^2 \sin ^2 \omega t \\& =\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 a^2 \sin ^2 \omega t \\\left(E_k\right)_{a v} & =\text {Average kinetic energy of one cycle} \\& =\frac{1}{T} \int_0^{T} E_k d t \\& =\frac{1}{T} \int_0^{T}\left(\frac{1}{2} m a^2 \omega^2 \cos { }^2 \omega t\right) d t\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned}& =\frac{1}{2 T} m a^2 \omega^2 \int_0^{T} \cos ^2 \omega t d t \\& =\frac{1}{2 T} m a^2 \omega^2 \int_0^{T}\left(\frac{1+\cos 2 \omega t}{2}\right) d t \\& =\frac{1}{4 T} m a^2 \omega^2\left[\int_0^{T} 1 \cdot d t+\int_0^{T} \cos 2 \omega t d t\right] \\& =\frac{1}{4 T} m a^2 \omega^2\left[(T-0)+\left(\frac{\sin 2 \omega t}{2 \omega}\right)_0^{T}\right] \\& =\frac{ma^2 \omega^2}{4 T}\left[T+\frac{1}{2 \omega}\left(\sin \frac{4 \pi}{T} \times T-\sin 0\right)\right] \\& =\frac{ma^2 \omega^2}{4 T}\left[T+\frac{1}{2 \omega}(0-0)\right] \\\therefore \sin n \pi & =0, n=0,1,2 \ldots \\\left(E_i\right)_{a v} & =\frac{1}{4} ma^2 \omega^2\ldots\ldots (3)\end{aligned}$
Average potential energy one cycle
$\begin{array}{l}\left(E_{p}\right)_{a v}=\frac{1}{T} \int_0^{T} E_{p} \cdot d t \text { given by } \\\left(E_{p}\right)_{av}=\frac{1}{T} \int_0^{T} \frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 a^2 \sin ^2 \omega t d t \\=\frac{m \omega^2 a^2}{2 T} \int_0^{T} \sin ^2 \omega t d t \\=\frac{m \omega^2 a^2}{2 T} \int_0^T\left(\frac{1-\cos 2 \omega t}{2}\right) d t \\\because \cos 2 \theta=1-2 \sin ^2 \theta \\=\frac{1}{4 T} m \omega^2 a^2\left[\int_0^{T} 1 . d t-\int_0^{T} \cos 2 \cos d t\right] \\=\frac{1}{4 T} m \omega^2 a^2\left[(T-0)-\left(\frac{\sin 2 \omega t}{2 \omega}\right)_0^{T}\right] \\\left(E_{p}\right)_{a v}=\frac{1}{4} m a^2 \omega^2\ldots\ldots (4)\end{array}$
Thus, from equation (3) and (4) we see that the average K.E. over one oscillation time period is and during the same period the average P.E. is equiralent to.

Question 172 Marks
The time period of a simple pendulum is 4 seconds and its effective length is 4 meters. By what length given that should it make 15 oscillations in 30 seconds?
Answer
We know that
$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\ldots\ldots (1)$
Let the new length be $l_1$ and time period will be $T _1$.
$T_1=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l_1}{g}}\ldots\ldots (2)$
Hence on dividing equation (1) by equation (2)
$\begin{aligned}\frac{T}{T_1} & =\sqrt{\frac{l}{l_1}} \\\left(\frac{T}{T_1}\right)^2 & =\frac{l}{l_1} \text { or } l_1=\left(\frac{T_1}{T}\right)^2 l\end{aligned}$
Per question $T =4$ seconds, $l=4$ meter
$\begin{aligned}T_1 & =\frac{\text { Time interval }}{\text { Number of oscillations }} \\\frac{30}{15} & =2 \text { seconds } \\l_1 & =\left(\frac{2}{4}\right)^2 \times 4=\frac{4}{4}=1 m\end{aligned}$

Question 202 Marks
The potential energy of a body is $U _y= U _0(1-\cos \alpha y)$. Explain the characteristics of the motion of a body.
Answer
Given: $\quad U _y= U _0(1-\cos \alpha y)$
On differentiating the function with $y$
$\begin{aligned}\frac{d}{d y}\left(U_y\right) & =U_0\left(0-\frac{d}{d y}(\cos \alpha y)\right) \\\frac{d U_y}{d y} & =U_0(\alpha \sin \alpha y) \\\frac{d\left(U_y\right)}{d y} & =U_0 \alpha \sin \alpha y \\F & =-\frac{d U_y}{d y} \\F & =-U_0 \alpha \sin \alpha y\end{aligned}$
Here taking $\sin \alpha y=\alpha y$ because $\alpha y$ is small
$\begin{array}{l}F=-U_0 \alpha^2 y \\F=-K y\end{array}$
Here, $K = U _0 \alpha^2$ is a constant.
Hence the motion of the body is simple harmonic motion. Since the equation obtained above is the force equation of simple harmonic motion.

Question 222 Marks
A particle performing simple harmonic motion makes 1200 oscillations per minute and its velocity while passing through the mean position is $3.14 m / s$ lives. Also obtain the displacement equation of the particle if the displacement at moment $t=0$.
Answer
We know that the velocity of the particle is maximum in the mean position. If the particle's amplitude is $A$ and angular velocity is $\omega$ then maximum velocity.
$\begin{aligned}v_{\max } & =\omega A \\\text { Amplitude } A & =\frac{V_{\max }}{\omega}=\frac{V_{\max }}{2 \pi n}\end{aligned}$
$\because \omega=2 \pi n$, Here frequency is $n$,
As per question
$\begin{aligned}v_{\max } & =3.1 m / s \\n & =1200 \text { per minute }=\frac{1200}{60} \text { per second } \\n & =20 \text { per second } \\\text { Amplitude } A & =\frac{3.1}{2 \times 3.14 \times 20}=\frac{1}{40}=0.025 m\end{aligned}$
Displacement of the particle at $t=0$ that is the particle is in its equilibrium state, then the equation of simple harmonic motion is,
$y=A \sin \omega t=A \sin 2 \pi n t$
Keeping the value of A and $n$
$\begin{array}{l}y=0.025 \sin 2 \pi \times 20 t \\y=0.025 \sin 40 \pi t\end{array}$

Question 242 Marks
In simple harmonic motion, the period of oscillation is 0.5 seconds and the amplitude is 0.1 m. Find the maximum velocity and maximum acceleration of the oscillator.
Answer
Time period $=0.5$ second
$A=0.1 m$
maximum velocity $v _{\max }= A \omega$
Displacement is zero for maximum velocity.
$\begin{array}{l}v_{\max }=A \times 2 \pi n \\v_{\max }=\frac{A \times 2 \pi}{T} \quad \because n=\frac{1}{T} \\v_{\max }=\frac{0.1 \times 2 \pi}{0.5}=0.4 \pi m / s\end{array}$
Maximum acceleration
$\left(a_{\max }\right)=-A \omega^2$
$=-0.1\left(\frac{2 \pi}{T}\right)^2=-\frac{0.1 \times 4 \pi^2}{0.5 \times 0.5}$

Question 282 Marks
At what time is the potential of a simple harmonic and kinetic energy oscillator equal?
Answer
Potential energy of simple harmonic oscillator :
$U_{t}=\frac{1}{2} k A^2 \sin ^2 \omega t$
Kinetic energy $K _{ t }=\frac{1}{2} k A^2 \cos ^2 \omega t$
$\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{2} k A^2 \sin ^2 \omega t & =\frac{1}{2} k A^2 \cos ^2 \omega t \\\sin ^2 \omega t & =\cos ^2 \omega t \\\sin ^2 \omega t & =1-\sin ^2 \omega t \\2 \sin ^2 \omega t & =1\end{aligned}$

Question 302 Marks
Why is the sphere taken to be spherical to make a simple pendulum?
Answer
These are two reasons for this :
(i) The center of the gravity of spherical objects is located at their centre. Therefore, the position of the center of gravity can be determined accurately. Hence the value of effective length of the pendulum is also known accurately.
(ii) For a given value, the surface area of a spherical object is minimum, hence the force of air friction on it also minimum due to which the oscillations continue for a longer time.

Question 322 Marks
Two particles move periodically in the same straight line, their amplitude and frequency are the same. At the time when their displacement is half the amplitude, they cross each other going in opposite directions, what is the time difference between them?
Answer
Taking the general equation of simple harmonic motion,
$y=A \sin (\omega t+\phi)$
Where $(\omega t +\phi)$ is called the total phase of the particle.
When $y=\frac{1}{2} A$ then $\frac{1}{2} A= A \sin (\omega t +\phi)$
$\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{2} & =\sin (\omega t+\phi) \\\omega t+\phi & =30^{\circ} \text { or } 150^{\circ}\end{aligned}$
At the moment both particles are moving in opposite directions, the phase of one of them is $30^{\circ}.$ So, the phase of second will be $180^{\circ}-30^{\circ}=150^{\circ}$. If one is $150^{\circ}$ then the other is $180^{\circ}-150^{\circ}=30^{\circ}$.
Hence the time difference at that moment
$=150^{\circ}-30^{\circ}=120^{\circ}$

Question 342 Marks
The bob of a simple pendulum is hollow and has been filled with water. There is a small hole below it. If this sphere continuously performs simple harmonic motion and water keeps falling out of the hole, then how will the period of oscillations change?
Answer
When the sphere is completely filled with water, its center of mass is located at the center of sphere, let its period be T. As the water moves towards the sphere, its center of mass moves down. Due to this the length increases, therefore, initially the value of period increase. When all water comes out, the center of mass comes back to the center and due to this the value of period again becomes equal to previous value.

Question 352 Marks
A clock controlled by an oscillator becomes slow when taken from a field to a mountain. But the wrist watch controlled by the spring remains unaffected. Explain the reason for this difference in the behaviour of clocks.
Answer
The value of 'g' reduces by taking it from the plains to the mountains. Due to change in 'g' the period of the pendulum of the oscillator clock increases due to which the clock becomes slow. But the spring remains unaffected by the change of 'g' as a result the watch also keeps accurate time.

Question 382 Marks
What do you understand by resonant oscillation ?
Answer
When a periodic force is applied on a body and the body frequency is equal to its natural periodicity, that is, if the frequency of thrust oscillations is equal to the natural periodicity of the body, then the oscillation amplitude will be maximum. Such oscillations are called resonant oscillations of the body. If sound is produced by oscillations then it will be of maximum intensity.

Question 392 Marks
Differentiate between forced oscillations and supported oscillations.
Answer
Under the influence of an external induced force, a body which oscillation with a frequency other than its natural frequency called forced oscillation if the energy is replenished at the same rate at which the oscillator's energy is lost, then the amplitude of oscillation remains unchanged. Such oscillation are called supported oscillations. For example, the oscillations of a pendulum clock or the movement of the balance wheel of a wrist watch are examples of supported oscillations.

For S.H.M. why is a restoring force necessary ?
Answer
Restoring force is the force which restores or tries to restore the body or brings it back to its collected state. When a body S.H.M. it crosses the mean position due to its kinetic energy, the restoring force acts towards the equilibrium position, the same process is repeated. Therefore in oscillatory motion S.H.M. restoring force is essential in inclusion.

Why are soldiers marching in unison asked to break up step (walk like a normal person) while crossing the bridge?
Answer
If the soldiers walk in step, then the frequency generated due to the rhythm of their steps can be equal to the natural oscillation frequency of the bridge. Therefore, it can oscillate with high amplitude and cause resonance phenomenon which can cause damage to the bridge.

A girl is swining in a sitting position. If it becomes vertical, how will the period of the swing change?
Answer
Oscillation time of simple pendulum is
$T =2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$ i.e. $T \propto \sqrt{l}$
When the girl stand up, the distance between the suspension point and the center of mass of the swinging body reduces, that is reduced. This is why the value of T will decrease.

Question 442 Marks
On what factors does the force constant of a spring depend?
Answer
The value of spring constant (coefficient of elasticity) k, apart from the elastic properties of the spring, also depends on the original length of the spring, the value of k is less for soft spring and the value of k for hard spring it happen more. Similarly, for a longer spring, k is less and for a shorter spring, k is greater.

S.H.M. displacement of a particle in $x=A$ $\sin (\omega t+\phi)$ is given by. So that the value of $x$ remains same if the time increased by $\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}$.
Answer
S.H.M. displacement of particle in at time
$ x=A \sin (\omega t+\phi) $
If the time $\left( T +\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}\right)$ then the particle displacement is $x_1$, then
$ \begin{array}{l} x_1=A \sin \left(\omega\left(t+\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}\right)+\phi\right) \\ x_1=A \sin [(\omega t+2 \pi)+\phi]=A \sin [2 \pi+(\omega t+\phi)] \\ x_1=A \sin (\omega t+\phi)=x \\ x_1=x \end{array} $
So, the time in S.H.M. is remains same.

Question 472 Marks
The time period of a simple harmonic oscillator is 6 seconds. How much time will it take for the oscillator to start moving from the equilibrium position? After that its displacement will be half of its amplitude?
Answer
$x=A \sin \frac{2 \pi}{T} t$
Here is $T=6$ second and
$x=\frac{1}{2} A$
Then $\quad \frac{A}{2}=A \sin \frac{2 \pi}{6} t$
$\frac{1}{2}=\sin \frac{2 \pi t}{6}=\sin \frac{\pi t}{3}$
$\sin \frac{\pi}{6}=\sin \frac{\pi t}{3}$
$\frac{\pi}{6}=\frac{\pi t}{3}$
$T=\frac{3 \pi}{6 \pi}=\frac{1}{2}$ second
