  • MCQmediumSimple Harmonic Motion

    Two identical uniform rods, each of length L and mass m, are rigidly joined at right angles to form an L-shaped body. The body is pivoted at the free end of one rod and is free to oscillate in its own vertical plane. Which expression gives the angular frequency of small oscillations about the stable equilibrium?

    Two point-like objects of masses 20 gm and 30 gm are fixed at the two ends of a rigid massless rod of length 10 cm. This system is suspended vertically from a rigid ceiling using a thin wire attached to its center of mass, as shown in the figure. The resulting torsional pendulum undergoes small oscillations. The torsional constant of the wire is 1.2 × 10⁻⁸ N m rad⁻¹. The angular frequency of the oscillations is n × 10⁻³ rad s⁻¹. The value of n is [enter value].

  • A/RmediumSimple Harmonic Motion

    Choose the correct option for the following Assertion (A) and Reason (R).

    Assertion

    Two mutually perpendicular SHMs of the same frequency and phase difference π/2 produce an elliptical path in general.

    Reason

    Eliminating time from x = A cosωt and y = B sinωt gives x²/A² + y²/B² = 1.

  • MCQdifficultSimple Harmonic Motion

    The center of a disk of radius r and mass m is attached to a spring of spring constant k, inside a ring of radius R > r. The disk rolls without slipping along the inside periphery of the ring. The spring follows the periphery of the ring and obeys Hooke's law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. For a small displacement, T = 2π/ω. The correct expression for ω is:
