A sphere of radius $r$ is kept on a concave mirror of radius of curvature $R$. The arrangement is kept on a horizontal table (the surface of concave mirror is frictionless and sliding not rolling). If the sphere is displaced from its equilibrium position and left, then it executes $S.H.M.$ The period of oscillation will be
$2\pi \sqrt {\left( {\frac{{\left( {R - r} \right)1.4}}{g}} \right)} $
$2\pi \sqrt {\left( {\frac{{R - r}}{g}} \right)} $
$2\pi \sqrt {\left( {\frac{{rR}}{a}} \right)} $
$2\pi \sqrt {\left( {\frac{R}{{gr}}} \right)} $
Answer the following questions:
$(a)$ Time period of a particle in $SHM$ depends on the force constant $k$ and mass $m$ of the particle:
$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$. A stmple pendulum executes $SHM$ approximately. Why then is the time pertodof.anondwers period of a pendulum independent of the mass of the pendulum?
$(b)$ The motion of a simple pendulum is approximately stmple harmonte for small angle oscillations. For larger angles of oscillation, a more involved analysis shows that $T$ is greater than $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}} .$ Think of a qualitative argument to appreciate this result.
$(c)$ A man with a wristwatch on his hand falls from the top of a tower. Does the watch give correct time during the free fall?
$(d)$ What is the frequency of oscillation of a simple pendulum mounted in a cabin that is freely failing under gravity?
Two simple pendulum whose lengths are $1\,m$ and $121\, cm$ are suspended side by side. Their bobs are pulled together and then released. After how many minimum oscillations of the longer pendulum will the two be in phase again
A simple pendulum hangs from the ceiling of a car. If the car accelerates with a uniform acceleration, the frequency of the simple pendulum will
What is the velocity of the bob of a simple pendulum at its mean position, if it is able to rise to vertical height of $10\,cm$ ($g = 9.8\, m/s^2$) ..... $m/s$
A simple pendulum of length $L$ is constructed from a point object of mass $m$ suspended by a massless string attached to a fixed pivot point. $A$ small peg is placed a distance $2L/3$ directly below the fixed pivot point so that the pendulum would swing as shown in the figure below. The mass is displaced $5$ degrees from the vertical and released. How long does it take to return to its starting position?
